OK here we go:

according to my source the GT86 (sorry, no values for the BRZ) produces a lift of approx. 40kg on the front and roughly 30kg on the rear axis @ 200km/h, cw value 0,33.

Just for reference, they measured a Golf GTI @ 1/30 kg F/R, a Mini JCW even at 16/21kg

(values rounded so I don't get into any kind of trouble)


Am I the only one who finds this weird? Even though I can, unfortunately, not provide cw values for a/m cars I can only suspect them to be significantly higher as both are so increadibly bulky.
Apart from making them ugly imho, that would of course create some nice downforce on the wheels.

I really wanna tackle this issue somehow... How does one call those aero fins one may drill to the side of the front bumper?
The lift would probably manifest in the hood budging and likely worsen the effect
