What that guy failed to mention is that down force modifications like this one are only going to make a difference on the track where you might go fast enough for it to matter. Apart from about a 1% difference in fuel mileage the difference on the street is negligible. And that guy is a bit of a douche-bag, if he was an educated car guy himself he would've mentioned this somewhere in his self-righteous rant

Let's be clear here: the "uneducated d-bag" isn't saying that, mofugging science is.

I didn't say the guy is wrong, he isn't. But on the STREET these things make no difference except for a little less fuel economy which I'm prepared to accept. We're not all driving race cars here. |

Not sure if they ship internationally. Or if this is even cheap haha, but I thought $125 AU was pretty good. |

You mean the one where you called the (obviously formally educated) engineer an uneducated douche bag for stating facts that make you aware that your $125 ebay purchase is, by nearly any definition, rice? Naw, guess I missed it.
