Yeah, I guess that makes sense because the canards are basically vertical, so they would be more about controlling airflow, not downforce.

So, for the S2k, more or less of a cosmetic thing only I would guess.

You mean some sort of vortex generator? Sweet. I'd like to see some concept drawings.

Holy vortex generator, Batman!

I would think those pwjdm canards would create a lot of drag as well. I remember reading somewhere that canards should be a "last resort" kind of thing to add downforce.

yes, canards are more for fine tuning the aero balance of a car. Downforce should be generated elsewhere, and canards used to add or remove a small amount of the overall percentage.

Resurrection of thread!
I´ve just ordered a set of J's canards for the J's half front bumper (early version) as apparently they are discountinued and only left the ones in stock? If there is interest I would try to make a mould to be able to replicate them...

I've got password jdm race canards. I have them mounted now and they areven large. Not really feeling them. My ig account is @skrilys_s2k if you want to give them a look. I'm not a big fan of them.
