I took of my stock 2 post spoiler today, and i noticed a HUGE difference in the way the car feels at speeds above ~60 mph. Lighter? More unstable than before? does anyone else feel that difference or is it mind over matter?

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

The amount of downforce is influenced by ride height and we still have to carry out wind tunnel tests, but it's expected that there will be 50 kg of downforce at 100 kph with the wing in the up position, and maybe five times more than that with the wing at the low position."


Basicly, they assume that with the risers on the spoiler, it will produce 50kg (110lbs) of down force on the rear wheels when going 100kph (about 60)
In the low position they assume about 10kg of force (22lbs) gained.
