Want amuse spoiler downforce numbers

I was trying to figure out how functional the amuse spoiler is. For example I read that the Nismo spoiler produces 146 lbs at 70 mph. So lets use that

So lets use that as a benchmark and compare the Amuse to that.

any info would be helpful.

Found this.

However, from this angle you can see that the GT styled wing is actually angled enough to provide slight down-force, and not add to any parasitic drag.

I don't think the Nismo numbers are for the wing only, but for the whole car at speed.
Very doubtful you will find any downforce figures for aftermarket wings on a 370z.

Yes, for the Nismo kit, and LMAO, you won't find any for aftermarket "body kit" spoilers

A umber of 150 for the whole kit seems to come up, but nothing official.

Amuse's new Vestito Aero system for the Nissan 370Z follows in their tradition of creating advanced, Euro-style aerodynamic kits for high performance Japanese track weapons. The Vestito kit features a new long-nose front bumper to improce frontal air flow under and around the front of the car. The front bumper features a chin under-spoiler to smooth the airflow at the front lip, preventing high-speed 'walking' and increasing the front end stability of your car. The shape of the chin under-spoiler helps to suck the car towards the ground (ground effect) as air flows underneath it. The enlarged frontal intake area assists in keeping the under-hood temperatures low especially with regards to radiators and / or oil cooling.

The side steps fit direct onto the side of the chassis and compliment the OEM lines from Nissan without looking over the top.

The rear bumper spoiler takes cues from the Porsche GT3 and features rear vents to help relieve pressure buildups behind the rear wheels and truck space as the air raises off the chassis and ground. This is important as controlling airflow in this area reduces turbulance and therefore high speed stablility is increased. The rear spoiler features an aggressive design inspired by race car looks but it also retains a strong OEM Nissan look.

The rear wing sits on a high mount ramp angle for an agressive and functional look. The rear wing helps to generate downforce over the rear wheels which is essential for high speed cornering handling and downward stability.

Didn't think that any numbers would be out there but I heard that Amuse actually test the kits they sell so it was worth a shot.
