apr canard placement

Too high? position is not permanent, was placed with stickies. but, personally I like this position. what do you guys think? sorry pic is blurry. Yes, I will be tracking every now and then and I like quick turn in. Will these still be functional if they are parralell (can't spell) and even on both sides?

yes, they are available. but it's only one large one that goes near the bottom, personally though I think it doesn't look too well. I chose the APR for there style as well as function.

wasn't saying i don't like those, i was just wondering. i actually kinda like them on yellow, looks pretty tough. and can't argue that they are functional.

Height looks good, but I'd consider sliding them back maybe an inch towards the fender.

I agree. You need to move them back a little. Looks good on the yellow.

So these have been proven functional? How much downforce to they add to the front end at 100mph? Were they tested in a wind tunnel or on a race track with data acquisition/telemetry. If you could post up a link to this info that would be great.

Thanks!

i personaly chose to place them uneven with 2 diff angels... like this



as far as functionality that depends on speed and angel of the canards... if you follow a math formula with the angel and surface area mine give me about 20lbs total at 75mph aprox
