Spoilers

Hey there, spoilers are designed to create turbulent flow over the wing which can decrease lift/increase drag either for a steeper approach or once touched down spolis lift to allow more weight on the gear for max effective braking. In answer to your question they would increase the drag CL by affecting chordwise flow.
