Guest rxsvn Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi guys. I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but Ive got a question on front air dams. It seems that some come down at an angle in front of the tire while others come straight down, perpendicular to the road. If I knew how to post pics Id find a couple.. Anyone know what Im talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yes, the ones that come straight down can properly be referred to as Aid Dams. The ones that slant forward are a derivative of a spoiler. The spoiler type will direct more air into the engine bay through the radiator openeing than the air dam. For top speed purposes the air dam is what you want. For everyday use and not speeding, I prefer the urethane spoiler type assenbly that replaces the valence parts.

A. G. Olphart Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Brad: Do you reinforce yours to limit high speed flex, or is it not a problem with the one you chose? And--- Have you got a good source & part number? Some day I'm gonna have to buy one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 To my knowledge both MSA and VB carry the urethane type (made by XENON). They only make two models - one with brake ducts, one without. Yes, I reinforced mine w/aluminum to prevent distortion at speed. I got mine from JC Whitney back in '93 for ~$120....
