Canards install

- Sun Nov 27, 2011 8:05 am #283113 I have a set of 4 front canards I'm looking to install in my car but want get people's opinions on where and at what angle I should fit them to get the most out of them.

I've tried googling but that only bring up about lining them up with you wheel base as to no have them overhang or petrude.

I knew all that already but want to know angles and heights as both can effect performance ALLOT

And even then they won't do anything to help you unless you have and actual aero kit. They don't create downforce, they move the air around the car to areas that would. Even people who have used just them also report a loss in top speed. Some have lost as much as 20 mph. This is also from people who change angle, curve, etc. for best results.

This said does seem like they're more hassle than they're worth and will result in putting holes in a perfectly good bumper.

Me thinks I'll sell them on to one of the local Chav bolers round my way and get my money back on them

Put the 2 together and you see what the locals are like near me so should be easy to shift them
