they help keep the car stable under high speeds and 135 is fast for are cars..
i have reached 150 and i have to say i dont want to go that fast again

Don't tell the Honda guy's that....
They have boo boo front wheel drive........
They need front body air dams to hold the front end down.....
Honestly unless your car has alot of HP/Torque a spoiler is technically unecessary......
It isn't the top speed why you need it, it is a physics term called centrifical force......
The faster your wheels spin the more likely the wheels/ suspension is likely to float off the ground. The greater impact of HP/Torque will make your wheels leave the ground not top speeds.......
So unless your 240 is hitting 250 Crank Horse Power, and 250ft/lb.s of torque a spoiler is pointless, especially if you drift.
Honestly you should save your pennies on a $1200 tien suspension, tie bars, sway bars, and tower brace bars before becoming concerned with a spoiler.......
Becides most spoilers such as the combat "looks ugly spoiler" isn't even engineered to keep you on the ground...
It takes a bit of R&D to get the correct spoiler for your specific vehicle...............

4000lb.s of down force would crush your rear suspension that is the equivelant of 2 huge fu$%in elephants......
You don.t gain jack from a spoiler, you only get dead weight.......
Don't believe what the ebay guys sell you.......
