    Lebaron coupe aero info

    Is there any aerodynamic info from the Mopar landspeed Lebaron? Debating if a rear spoiler of any kind would help or hurt.

    Maybe lol. Mostly looking for drag decreases for mileage, but I would like to add some sort of spoiler on the back for looks (offset the long nose a bit), and if i can get some function out of it also would be great. I'm just wondering if it has any lift issues in the rear at speed.

    does the back end of your car feel like it's moving side to side at high speed ?

    if so a spoiler may help

    Idono about drag but if the car feels "straighter" it can't be a bad thing

    I had a 2 door l body with the shelby charger style spoiler - the rear felt like it wandered at anything 125 and up
    a change to the rubber DC wale tail fixed that as the rear of the car followed nice and steady

    drag vs improved control (if needed)??

    I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day about how "modern" and aero the Lebaron styling is. My Spirit R/T looks like a brick with wheels compared to one. Lol

    Well, I've never felt like it was loose at speed, not in the back anyway. Actually feels light in the front, which is going to get an airdam of sort sort and get the bumper-to-core support area closed in also.

    The Mopar land speed car had no rear wing either, nor even a lip spoiler, so I'm guessing it's pretty good back there.

    Its the nose that needs a spoiler or some sort of air dam. The nose lifted on mine so far once I lost steering. Scary.

    I think the kind of spoilers they used to put on Chevy Berettas would look good on a Lebaron coupe. I think they have a similar body shape.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Yeah mine feels light in the front at around 110 or so. I'm thinking of running an airdam around the bottom of the bumper a few inches wide, and making a panel that closes the nose off at the bottom of it that sticks out a bit to double as a splitter. Also want to figure out some ducting between the nose and the core support. Car is going to get lower as well.
