the reason why i put one larger on was the back end gets VERY light when hitting bumps while cornering at high speed (on the track) the stock spoiler is ok but a larger one stabilized it even more.

That is bump steer and you would be better served to fix the problem through suspension tuning rather than masking it with downforce.

I'm assuming, since this is in the general section and the way the question was asked, that it's a DD and won't get much over the speed limit for very long. I've been wrong before.
