        I want more downforce in the front.. And im going to use a wing in the rear to get my *** down before breaking.

        Last year i felt lack of grip in front in the curves and i also felt that my rear didnt have enough contact when breaking from high speed.

        But my guess is that i only need a slight angle on rear wing. I think i have to test this out first. But im gonna start build a front splitter.

        My though is to build it in simple plywood and fill out the distance between the splitter and the bumper with some kind of material.

          You could build some anti dive into your suspension this will help on the brakes for sure.

          I made my front splitter from carbon and a high density foam that you use to build boats. This sandwhiched together gives something as strong as wood then to hold it to the car i have made a aluminum box section frame that bolts to the car.

            One reason that the rear goes light because of the toe angle changing with suspension compression / extension. Under power, the rear drops and you get toe in, which is nice and stable and makes the car stable under power. Under braking, the rear lifts and the wheels go to unstable toe out, which can make the back feel wayward when braking but means that the car turns in better when not on the power. The Pug 306 GTI6 had this feature designed it, to make it handle better

            To alter the above effect, you'd have to move the mounting point of the rear tie rods.

            Your rear wing idea is unlikely to make much of a difference compared to the forces required to lift 600+ kg but some larger rear brakes should pull the rear down a bit, as will some serious weight re-distribution like Terry has done
