i recently got one, and installed it myself, i mounted it on the lowest setting on the brackets, so it would scoop more air, and i can genuinely feel a difference, stability wise. this may have to do with smoothing it out with the big venturi tunnel but i have no clue.
from the angle i have it mounted it looks like it would add downforce, but damon does know his **** and i would listen to him over me
i could swear i noticed a difference tho, just my .02
oh and also i dont have a stock rear spoiler...dunno if that makes a diff cuz maybe my car was lacking in the DF department already
clearance issues arent so much of a problem with me, but i did set my ground control kit an inch higher before i put it on, =P

The diffuser mounts to the car, the generators on the side of the diffuser. Next time dont try and tell people what they own on their own cars. Or at least pick a idiot who knows less then you. Truth be said Chucks carbon diffusers are made thicker/stronger than my RE one.

The stock rear spoiler makes zero downforce, it's for show only (and adds a drag penalty). I have a book that uses the '93 base and R1 as an example and lists the drag and lift data for the front and rear with the base lip and no spoiler as well as the R1 lip and the spoiler. The data says keep the deeper R1 lip but dump the stock spoiler. The stock rear spoiler does nothing but add drag to the car.
