I'll PM you about a design I have in mind for a boxed in spoiler.

I'm not sure why I put 10* for the diffuser I'll follow the 2.5*-4* when I build it.

What is your take on active suspension systems in the near future?
I feel like active suspension will be commonplace at some point.
I'm not sure about the near future.
The R&D and tooling is paid for in 4-years,after that,the cost falls through the floor for the rest of time.
With platform sharing,an automaker might have a dozen vehicles running the same suspension under the skin,sharing expenses.
If automobile manufacturing were rationalized,as has been done in the past,national manufacturing could produce for all companies,supplying non- profit,low-cost components, as in Vietnam/Cambodia MC helmet. manufacturing today.
It would require a war on entropy/cost.
