Obviously I do not have the access to a proper wind tunnel, so I have purely academic knowledge of what if anything the vortex stabilizers are doing for the car. A couple of the EVO guys in another forum suggested I scrap the 5 for 7 slightly smaller but longer ones. These are not stabilizers at all, theyre the shark finned VORTEX GENERATORS, they work great on cars generally of the coupe or sedan type, not nearly as well on wagons or hatches unfortunately since theyre entire purpose is to eliminate that low pressure bubble and get the air past the car smoother and faster. ( at least thats what I've read.)

Anyways, I've been doing ten tons of research before I spring for an ultra fugly urethane stick on vortex generator vs my paint matched quintuplet group of miniature shark fins.
