Question 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:

http://www.gt-racing.com/catalog/GTRpg30-39.pdf (items 426-431 in FG or CF)


What'ya think?

Thanks-

Gene

Thanks, but ...

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 *** wing like the RE, I'm going to pick a functional one.
