I just did a 49 mile test with the front discs installed and ended up with worse numbers. Perhaps they really do hurt the aero. Apparently it's going to take significant time to figure out.

I can't fathom any way the mirrors are not a win regardless.

Starting with a relatively clean car, I did bomb down a gravel road after logging my miles and shutting the generator down. That reveals some interesting dynamics I think.

Technically,at 49-miles,you'd just be warmed up enough to 'begin' testing.It takes that much distance for all the lubricants and temperature-dependent rolling components to reach their ambient-condition stabilization.Without pre-warming,there's so much thermally-related 'noise',you'll never be able to 'see' the 'signal' you're looking for.
