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.
