    Spoiler

    Speaking of wings. What in the world is the purpose of the spoiler on the Prius? I wonder if the drag coefficient would be improved if it were not there.

    Would you believe it? I've driven my car for 7 weeks, over 4800 miles and didn't take a good look at the back end until after I posted a comment about the spoiler.

    Old age or polluting emissions from non-hybrid cars must have gotten to the few brain cells I have left. There's no spoiler.

    I plan on lowering the car about 1", if I can ever get a Japan contact for the Modellista springs, or Eibach or Intrax ever email me back about using my car for prototypes.[/quote]

    Don't lower it too much. It's so low now that if you run over a squirrel, it drags the animal around.
