- It helps straighten the car when sideways
- it helps the air flow over the wing itself remain laminar (ie travelling in one direction) and produce more downforce

I spoke to them yesterday about this, was informed they are just finalising a price and then will be selling the item. He said he would let me know price next week.

How fast would you have to be travelling sideways to get any benefit from them? They stop the spoiler wobbling about, and in extreme circumstances (high speed) I guess they stop collapse.

We're not talking downforce here.......I bet the Gobstopper has never been near a wind tunnel.

You would be surprised what differences little changes make to the car when your travelling at warp factor 9!
