Guys,

GT wings like cusco, voltex, APR etc do these really only provide downforce at high speed i.e 150 kph ++ and/or are they a benefit or hinder low speed aerodynamics??

Im not a huge fan of the looks of these large wings but if they make the rear end more stable then im all for it..

Also are these wings actually got proven aerodynamic numbers or are they just wank and you really need to develop your own wing??

Discuss with pics also ..

Cusco wing:





APR GT2000:





Voltex:

Uber gay.

I'll expand on that...hate those wings on anything, regardless of it really working or purely for looks. Might be ok on the boot lid destined for track days but IMO would ruin the look everywhere else.

My opinion obviously won't mean much to you but those huge wings are nasty. Surely it couldnt give you enough benefit to warrant sticking one on.

Bootlip, nothing or Sti (in that order) if it was up to me.

Yeh its purely a functional thing and will suit the prova time attack from bar. I wouldnt be running it else where except for track events..

Anything to push more down on the rear to keep it from turning me around is beneficial in my books..
