Roof Spoiler

Will this apply any downforce or should I look for something bigger. I just don't want the rear-end getting squirrelly. I'm running 255's but I'd like a little insurance. Thanks.

Even the Remmele unit will bring it's downforce. It was tested and at speeds of 120mph and up it's working, heheheehee! No, just kidding. The little lip brings just little downforce, but enough to let you feel a bit safer, so it's working, for sure.
