Aren't most spoilers and wings designed by the racing industry designed for their purposes....they only create drag and weight till you hit pretty high speeds, which is when they start creating downforce?

The only factory spoiler I know of that didn't create drag was the S4 duckbill.

US$350 is not bad, but you still gotta pay to import them to have it landed in the USA.

I've got to learn Japanese so I can shop at some of those sites. I love window shopping at Up Garage's site, but Babel Fish only helps so much.

AutoRnD sells some brackets and wings too.

Sure on an all out time attack car it could be useful, but it also adds drag, and on the street there's no need for such a thing, and if you're driving fast and hard enough to need it on the street you should be arrested.

For almost any race class over here in North America those wings and diffusers would be illegal.

uh, yeah. no, you shouldn't listen to him.

I love that rear wing...it match well with the rear diffuser. But if i ever have one on my car, my wife will use it to hang laundry.

Funny that you say that, I knew he was dense, but today...well he set the bar and he set it in stone. He's known about my FC project for a while, but today he came by and was telling me about his turbo gtu from the factory that was 1989 model S4. I asked if he was on the forum, but he said he knew way more than "the collection of kids" that post here, and he never bothered. Hmmm....I literally wentthenthen
