I thought Canards give you more downforce which would mean 4 would be better for the track IDK. IMO 4 looks better + if you took to off it would leave marks
Sorry, canards are NOT for downforce. Rather, they keep air from being pushed under the car.

I would disagree!
"The carnards and splitter work together to increase front downforce. The splitter works by pressure differential over its surface and the canards create vortices to improve underbody flow making the splitter more effective."

>>canards create vortices to improve underbody flow making the splitter more effective."

So, it aids the splitter, now it depends if he has a splitter?

And i also disagree with a few of the things this dude "Mike Kojima" is saying,
i think its more of a marketing thing
hmmmm i don't have a splitter..unless that bottom part of the j's racing type s front bumper is consider a splitter...if not then no.. but yeaa its all good i thought about it and i believe im going with 4 for functionality over looks =)


THANK YOU ALL =)
