spoilers for the track
im thinking about taking on a project to add some downforce to my car FOR THE TRACK. im wondering what rear wings are out there.. the RE-is too tall. im looking for soemthing about 1/3rd to a half as high. i understand those wings are that high to be put into the wind but this car will still be driven on teh street too. Its just that now my rx-7 is the weekend fun car i can do stupid stuff like this to it. And yes i have searched but all i get is massive flamewar post. I figure someone out here uses there car on the track going all out so someone should know.. yes i do track at least once a month so save the flames. and to the helpful ones thanks in advance.
I don't think there are many/any other options for direct fit wings. Carl Byck uses a wing on his track car, do a search for his threads and you'll be able to see pictures of it. I beleive that it uses custom mounts, that's the best route to getting a wing where you want IMHO.
You'll probably get a lot more downforce on a wing than a diffuser, on a production based car anyway/especially. The airflow under the car is pretty turbulent due to the roughness of the underside, and most cars aren't nearly low enough to fully utilise a diffuser. To use one effectively you need to be pretty low, and a smooth underbody will help a lot.
Here's some good aero reading for you:

Adding an ISCRacing front splitter to complete the package.

hmm interesting design im looking for a gt style . its gotta be 62-5 inches wide in order to look proper on the car and fit into the wind well. tiny will look retarded and wont be as effective the outside of the wing is whats making the most lift

chockets makes brackets to fit their GT wings on FC's.

they offer 3 different colors, 3 different sized wings, and 3 different heighth mounting brackets too.... I would reccomend the high brackets, on the 1650mm wing....
