hey guys i need some technical help on this project. im mocking up a rear spoiler for my 200. i was hoping someone would have some help full insight on what degree and angles would be best for all round low/high speed down force.
this is what i have come up with so far based of old camaro's, Z's and the rocket bunny s13.

The flow is separated there, so no big difference in angle as long as you're in the 45 deg area. The height is MUCH more important on a spoiler.

BTW, wings are much more efficient than a spoiler from a lift/drag perspective.

You'll have to worry about how the air flows and reaches the backside of the car to get to the spoiler in a relatively uniform fashion.
