ive seen a few of these in person... these things are so cheaply made and wobble like its made of cheap thin metal and paper mache.

ive literally touched, looked at, and grabbed and shook a BCL wing, an APR wing, and a sard wing back to back all in the same parking lot.

when i grabbed the wing/stands on the apr and sard and tried to move them, the whole car would shake and move with it. the BCL wing would move and wobble if i laid a finger on it or even flicked it. if i shook it as much as the APR or sard wing i probably would have broke it

guess what happens when you bolt a proper rear wing on your FD?

you get rear downforce.

guess what happens in front?

you get front lift.

balance is the key to going fast as well as drag V downforce.

the babe is by far the most interesting item in this thread.

this is going to have to do with how it's mounted, more-so than the quality of the wing itself. I have a friend with an APR wing that is sketchy and shaky as hell. All he did was bolt it to the outer skin of the hatch/trunk lid, didn't even go through the skeleton.

This is exactly why you need front canards/vortex generators. Most people who put GT wings are part of the stance movement unfortunately and their car will never see the track anyway.
