Hi there,
Does anybody has any information or links about aerodynamical down force generated on M-tech compairing to standard? Is it higher, same
I have little dispute here and I'm looking for any information. I've changed to M-tech last year and car feels more grip on curves than before. Thanks in advance

Are you talking about the M-tech kit that replaces the front, rear bumpers and side skirts? If so, I seriously doubt that is the case. The kit is more cosmetic than anything else.

unless you're traveling at speed in excess of at least 90 in straight away for a long distance, then the kit might make a difference in down force. As for normal driving, I don't think the kit will help you feel more grips on the curve at all. Better grips may be due to your tires or just look at the posts before mine.
Good luck with whatever you think...

Thanks lads for your input but I was rather looking for some facts 
not bla,bla,bla... . Yes, I ment driving 90-120mph it's pretty obvious you can't feel it driving 30-60 mph

I did not have Mtech on my last car but I think it will have a better down force at over 100km speed.
I had the ACS kit on my pre lci and the car did feel faster on corners at over 100km and I save on fuel too.
Now I have the ACS roof spoiler and the mtech boot spoiler but not the mtech body kit on my new LCI and both do work as a down force at 100km and feel the car stick on the ground more.
what I trying to say is, most body kit is not just for looks, it is to make more down force and more aerodynamic.
