I have been looking for a guidelines to follow: How to make a Kammback" which will give me downforce or reduce lift...

METRO MPG, Andrew J, page 8-9 or specific TomO's 'my Kammback VX...etc.
have made a Kammback and had great result with fuel efficiency..
BUT can i have both???
FUEL EFFICIENCY AND DOWN FORCE/REDUCED LIFT??
IF anyone can give me a few links OR Guidelines to follow on the DIY section
my car is a 1990 honda civic hatchback. I think this needs to be addressed for people like me who have No clue as to what to do...a DIY Section!!!
I FOUND THIS FROM METROMPG BUT THERE IS NO CONSENSUS ON A SPECIFIC ANGLE TO STRIVE FOR?????
