Car spoilers - give your car more brains - By: Louie Liu

When a car is smart it knows how to make sure getting one desirable quality in a ride does not make other desirable qualities go out of the window. Take for example having good control of your high performance car at high speeds. One of the key attributes as far as control is concerned is that the car should be stable at high speeds. If the car is not stable then it will behave unpredictably and the control systems of the car will lose their effectiveness. The high performance will no longer be a great fun part of the car, it will be an unsafe risky part of the car's personality. Of course it is easy to make the car more stable. Just make it heavier. But if you will make the car heavier its other performance characteristics will be significantly impacted and the car will feel heavy and sluggish. The car will no longer be able to get to a speed where stability becomes an issue.

But there is a smarter solution for making your car stable at high speeds and that is by using a car spoiler. Car spoilers are an aerodynamic component which is mounted at the rear of the car. The car spoiler produces a downward force which is proportional to the speed of the car. At low speeds when there is not much need for the downward force the negative lift produced by the car spoiler is negligible. And at high speeds when you need the force the most it is high. But you may wonder what can a downward force do to make the car more stable. Well a downward force makes the car hug the road more it also gives the car tires a better traction so that the car responds better to steering controls.

Car spoilers are light and do not add much weight to the car so that the car's power to weight ratio is not negatively impacted. You can get carbon fiber car spoilers which are very light and preferred for high performance car just as carbon fiber body kits are popular for such cars.
