In fact no one has actually said that drag is the primary issue. My fault. Guess I better get back on them pills them thar voices makin me do it ;-) But seriously folks - the air dam can be shaped to push air as much to the sides as upwards, which would result in minimal added downforce, yet counter the menacing lift issue. Laura's still right on the money IMO, if you use the right shape on the air dam. Extending the current dam downwards 3-4 cm should reduce air under the car without increasing the front axle load. Just build it strong . . . /Robert
