Great stuff here! Can't wait to try some of it on my Ford Transit 150.

Question: I thought spoilers are to counteract lift and generates drag so rear wheels maintain contact (enough friction). Have you done separate calculations on the impact of the spoiler? Did you calculate or test the angle of deflection?
