Rear wing recommendations?
 
Folks,

I'm looking for a high quality rear wing that actually provides downforce for road racing/track events. Adjustable would be nice, but it doesn't have to be (kind of like the looks of the old Racing Beat larger-then-stioock-style). I don't really care for the looks of the '99+, however, it's better than some of the universal "tack-on" wings out there.

I have also looked at some of the Japanese wings for the FD, but most are overpriced and of questionable functionality. For example, C-West and Mazdaspeed wings use something like a 4 inch chord (why not use the stock wing?)? Gimme a break.

Many of the Speedvision WC, Grand-Am and Porsche Club guys use these:

What'ya think?

Thanks-

Gene

Thanks, but ... :eek:

Let me re-phrase my question:

I'm torn between a good looking wing that has limited functionality (but actually generates downforce rather than just drag) versus a highly functional (adjustable with proven track worthiness) wing that may not be that attractive.

If I decide to buy a big ass wing like the RE, I'm going to pick a functional one.

Gene those ones in your links are nasty
the last one one car that looks like a 944 looks like a huge cobra r spoiler
It's hard to pick spoilers IMO I think that would be the last thing on the car I would mess with
later
