Assuming that Brucepick's Kammback has the ideal 12-14° degree slope, then the stock Civic's effective rear slope is greater. Since Cal98's tuft testing showed that the slope isn't steep enough to get separation, then the air flow must be producing lift.
So the Kammback reduces lift and Cx, but at the cost of larger wake area. Which is better in this case must be A-B-A-B tested. And that would be a great chance to also test a longer Kammback
