Mugen's aero kit does wonders for the RSX, what are spec's on ours?
In an article in Super Street this month, they talk about aerodynamics, and mugen specifically. They look to be about the only company that uses serious wind tunnel time to make sure their design is effective, at $1k a hour. They scraped the first design of the rear diffuser for the S, after a $20k expense. The performance #'s on the RSX kit are sweet, at 60mph the kit achieves 69% increased down force, and a 11% better DC
leave it to mugen I guess. That is why they are so expensive, but they actually do something. What are the performance #'s for the full S2000 kit by mugen? If they are anything like the RSX's it is worth every penny, and I could live with my car having a smile on the front of it as big as mine
V8-What?

I have the Mugen 3 piece spoiler and I can tell you that the tail feels far less loose at speed. Obviously the faster the car is going, the more effective the spoiler is. I am in the process of moving and I have all the Mugen techinical datasheets, but that's all packed. I want to say that the 3 piece spoiler provides 200 pounds of downforce at SPEED. I just don't recall how fast that is.
Give King Motorsports a call. They are the authority on this.
BTW, according to the S2000 engineers we met in Tokyo, the rear OEM spoiler is meant purely for aesthetics. The Mugen pieces are all wind tunnel tested and designed and not made for form, but for function. It just so happens that they are beautiful additions to the car, as well.

I'm almost certain someone in the U.S. has gotten the SS front bumper installed, but they haven't posted about it here (that I know of). Perhaps because most people here criticize the design for looking like a smiley face.
I like it (and want it), but have to save my pennies and install the 4.44 gears first.
