Was that an effective mod for you? Where were they placed, exactly? |
The speed bumps in Morgantown are too harsh to take at much over a crawl, when you also consider my 50+psi tire pressure, cheap lowering springs, and track package shocks and struts... I did NOT build my car for ridesharing use lol
I sadly hadn’t really gathered any useful data on whether the VGs worked or not, my gut was saying that they were doing something; I recorded coasting speed in a certain stretch of nearly flat road at 45-46mph (May have still been accelerating a little) where I only remember hitting 43-ish before. Now it’s hard to say for certain, as my tires are far more worn (and maybe low-ish from how the car has been feeling) than last time I remember noting my speed through that area... but that’s a really really vague datapoint and I’d like to do more testing... I still have the VGs on my lawn edging air dam, placed just ahead of the trailing edge the air dam, right before the tire. I had the ones for the rear tires placed similarly, but on the rocker panel cover near the back and bottom, where the tire protruded most from the bodywork
