This looks like fun. I guess I just can't help but jump in here.
The truth is, there is no need for a spoiler at low speed because their is negligible lift on the car. The spoiler on the Type R does produce down force, even at low speeds, but it's not really doing anything useful because it's not needed.
Saying the spoiler on the Type R doesn't produce down force at low speed would be like saying the wings on a plane don't produce lift until you're at the end of the runway. It might not be useful until at higher speed, but it is there.
Look, at the end of the day, you seem like a pretty intelligent guy. You seem to have a somewhat lesser understanding of physics, but many of your conclusions are correct. It's just that your understanding of why is often pretty far off. People are going to call you out when they see that you don't really know what you're talking about.

Did you actually read and understand the article you linked? It's basically talking about whether it's worth it for people to opt for the spoiler on their Corolla S. That, and installing after market spoilers.but just for fun here ya go read this.. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/glo...y-improve-a-cars-performance/article21180268/ its just one of many all over the net that tells you they are useless on everyday cars. you know how to google.. do it.
