front canards... helpful?

So i was driving to work the other day and i notice that the front of my car lifts a little bit when im behind a semi or there is a very strong head wind... nothing is wrong with my car lol 2010 fit 11000 miles..... anyway i have a friend who has a set of canards for sale. im wondering if when i lower it even more on coilovers and get the right wheel set up would canards help in the front and which kind? i have two pictures below.. thanks for all your help

my goal is just more stability with these sort of conditions i am using 90drgz rear spoiler

new mods coming- apexi coils and tiger tuning chassis support

i believe honda tuning tsx

In theory they should, at least do something, but how much downforce are we talking about here? At road going speeds too. I've never heard of an aftermarket aerodynamic enhancement to be of any benefit over the years, but I've not had a hardcore jdm-stylez ride before. The euro folks scoff at this kinda stuff.

Canards wont do anything.. the winglets wont do anything. the spoiler wont do anything. A front splitter is what will work. If your not lowered.. splitter wont do anything either.
