the other day i was driving and i noticed that when i got to high speeds the rear end would move around, for lack of better words, and i was wondering if a spoiler would help with more downforce and keep the rearend where it should be. if it would, should i go with a stock spoiler or get something a lil bit bigger? i dont want to rice my car out, but what you guys think?

 

a spoiler won't help you there. it looks like you might have some worn suspension parts or a missing air dam on front causing air to go under the car

 

so you say check my suspension out? what do i look for?

 

For the speeds we drive, a rear spoiler (of any design) is ineffective. In order to be of any use, it would have to be about the size of a 747's horizontal stabalizer.
Even the huge wings they used to put on the back of Daytona Chargers (Chrysler) were only effective at oval track speeds; and they were 4 feet tall!

If the rear of your ride feels loose, you've other issues more pressing. Like suspension bushings or other such stuff.

He needs downforce. That's rich. I needed a good laugh today. Thanks.
