Alex,

Here are a few suggestions for some subtle mods that you can do to keep the front end down without resorting to spoilers and vents.

I'd either lower the front a little more or raise the back slightly to increase the rake and downforce on the car. Aerodynamics play a very important role in the handling characteristics. Also, the lower you go the less air underneath and less lift.

You can also make quite a lot of difference by just shifting some weight forward. For example, mounting the battery behind the spare wheel. As much weight as possible should be in front or over the front axle but even shifting weight from behind the rear axle forward has a positive effect. The general idea is to balance the weight of the rear engine set-up.

Hope this is of some help!

Regards,

Andy.
