improving aerodynamics with OEM parts

the bruce:
Note that 5 kg + 35 kg lift is at 200 km/h. R32 and Golf VI R have similar values.
From what I remember the Scirocco R Cup has a total downforce about 20 - 50 kg
at 200 km/h. I cannot find this data at the moment.

I'm pretty sure adding 65 kg dowforce at 160 km/h will be a significient improvement.
Creating downforce on front for a proper balance will be easier. The VWR + splitter
you told about will be the best way I guess. The VWR looks similar to the Rieger.

The more depth a wing profile has the more efficient it is. You will reach the downforce
to need with less angle. A gurney and end plates increases efficiency even more.

First the suspension has to be setup properly before you add any downforce. There
might be some potential now as you have reduced some weight. But as a last step
with this downforce you will be able to setup the rear suspension more ''tail happy'',
so that handling gets the right way: quick response and less understeer in narrow
corners and ''safe'' in fast corners.

fuscobal:
Bruce, my car is already tail happy because of the light rear and stiff sway-bar (remember I have 27mm RSB and 26mm FSB). From what I feel from inside the car, it is not understeering at all at this point, but the rear feels a little unstable onhill tops or sudden steering inputs. I made some calculs but won't post them here since we're off topic already. Here's what I found...please add your opinion  > http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,12484.75.html

Hi guys, just hoping for some help regarding the plastic spreader rivets. Would a tool like this allow me to install them?

You don't need a tool to put the rivets in they re plastic and just push in :happy2:
