The first few times I drove around town with the kammback and rear skirts I was surprised at how much my coasting distances increased. Before I got used to it I would panic and brake because I'd be going faster than planned when rolling up to stopped cars. This was all at city speeds (~50 km/h, ~30 mph). After over a year I once took a short drive without aeromods (and tire pressure ~40psi instead of 50psi) and it felt like I was dragging a log behind the car.
