Mike_Mac Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi All, I am currently de-spoilered, and like the look. However I'm aware that the stock Spoiler adds around 80kg (ish?) at speed, which I don't like not having! I'm considering fitting an Ab-Flug Type 1 Spoiler, as it still keeps the car's lines similar to the de-spoilered look and, in my opinion, improves it too. The question is - What downforce would you get from the Ab-Flug compared to stock? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The down force figure for the stock wing is questionable (ie. who came up with that figure and how?), the downforce from an Ab flug wing, has almost certainly never been tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks for the answer Nic IIRC the stock figure (from memory, but it was in that region) came from one of the technical articles produced by Toyota when the Supra came out. I'll probably be getting in touch with you around June time with reference to ordering a type 1 spoiler and also a full dash panel set. Is that going to be possible?

Alex Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I thought it was 90lbs...not 90kgs...and it's more negative lift than downforce. Negative lift because it's fighting the shape of the car which creates lift. The only spoilers that will do anything are the ones in the air stream well up from the deck of the car...nearly in line with the roof. I'm not sure which wing you're on a bout so can't comment.

Lucifer Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I prefere the extra high speed acceleration. YOu dont notice the lift if your lowered anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike Yes I can supply the dash panels and the wing, I would need to order both. Order time for the dash panels would be around 4-5 weeks, plus 5-7 days postage to UK. Ab Flug make the wings to order so the order time is a bit longer ie. around 2 montsh plus 5-7 days postage to UK. I have a couple of the Type 1 wings on order at the moment, so I'll be able to post pics when they arrive. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm not sure which wing you're on a bout so can't comment. It's this one Alex Ab Flug Type 1 http://abflug.jp/products/SUPLA80/manager/upfile/16_143130f82c4271.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
