Apparently if you go at speeds above 70MPH, the high rise does have some downforce advantages.

That being said, I perfer the low rise for rear visibility. The high rise is smack dab in my vision for trying to see vehicles approaching from further back... which can be very problatic if I'm trying to avoid getting paced by a PSP trooper.

I honestly like the high rise. Coming from the factory is more acceptable than adding a wing i think. Same thing the STI's got. But.. for less drag and safety .. wingless. I am a follower of the wingless look.

I'd have to say high rise. My 2010 came with the low-rise, but I'm pretty sure I'll be swapping it out at some point. I hear the comments about rear visibility a lot, but truth be told it already sucks with my low-rise. I say f*ck it though; I don't care what's behind me lol good luck catching up!

low rise... people have this misconception that the supercharged/turbocharged SS have only the High rise spoiler


and well, when you own a tuned LNF with a low rise, that misconception makes for some great memories
