Useful Carbon Wing?

This may be stupid but... it seems like a good combo for handling would be to run the XXX rear bar and have a fairly aggressive rear wing... that way you have high speed stability as well as low speed rotation... has anyone come across a carbon wing for the rear that A... Works and B... isnt 1200 bucks?

Our rear wing is functional to 23-28lbs of down force at 65mph. . . . . . . . . . . .

you could also get the same effect by adding a 12" sub and box to the trunk.

the stock wing is useless... has anyone made a new blade for the high rise wing that was more aggressive and not just a carbon fiber copy of the stock wing?


you'd drive it... see if it drives like you want and increase angle of attack or decrease angle of attack to change it...

none that i know of. used to have that cf wingblade, still useless. i'd say it would be more useful to just go wingless and not have the unnecessary downforce on our fwd car
