what to do

I'm gonna get a new 4 door ss and I'm thinkin about ordering the high rise wing from gm for it. I have an 05 ss and I love the downforce on the high wing and I'm tryin to figure out if the regular spoiler will give me the same thing. I figure since its so much lower it won't but does it give enough to keep the car stable? Anybody with the lower spoiler notice a difference?

I hope your talking about the ss style wing ced carries as you can't order the ss highrise for the sedan. I've had the low, wingless, and the ss highrise and they all felt the same LOL I actually gained 3mph takeing the wing off in the 1/4 mile

Actually you can order the high rise on the sedan my dealer said he could get it for me. The only thing I had with my 05 was passing semis on windy days on the highway was a lil tricky.

downforce?? Are you driving at 200 mph again? These spoilers are not functional.
