Best Rear Spoiler/Wing

[sam69]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but looked long and hard at which section this should be so mods move it if it's in the wrong place.

Have been trying to work out which is the most effective rear boot / trunk spoiler for the twins to help at high speed .

Would a duck bill or integrated trunk spoiler be as effective as a bridge spoiler or would either be better with a rear diffuser added as well

Looking for input from people who have tracked their cars or have real knowledge in this area .

Can you please tell me where in that whole thread it gives any advise as to the effectiveness of the different designs of wings as I have looked at this thread before and couldn't see any technical advise as to which design is more effective at HIGH SPEED for the twins as I asked in my first post but maybe I'm blind so could you please tell me the page number .

He's not asking for just a list. Read his post "For God Sake", he's asking for a functional one and whether different ones function differently. Maybe not noticeably different, but even then.

OP, I doubt a lip spoiler would have huge affect, maybe a small wing like the Sard LSR wing, even the rep, would do good.

What do you mean "High Speed"?

a real rear diffuser will help regardless of whatever spoiler/wing you get.

First of all, you'll never be going that fast to need it.

Second a "best" rear wing are connected to the frame not the trunk lid.

Third it's 100% cosmitic. Buy what ever you think looks cool. Cause it will not help you go faster or have downforce.

The video was featured on the front page but looks like the link is broken.

Basically, don't get a roof spoiler.

I guess it depends on if you want reduced drag or down force. Wings(like gt wings) create downforce, spoilers reduce drag. Some spoilers look like wings but are too low/small and are actually spoilers. I don't know enough about spoilers to say which one is "best" probably all pretty similar get what looks best. For wings the only place I "KNOW" does aero testing is Voltex so I'd go with them. I don't know all aero manufacturers but that is the extent of my knowledge

The spoiler itself isnt normally the issue, its the angle that they are installed. I beleive a correct angle of attack is somewhere from 25-32 degrees but you can view the entire research here http://bvmotorsports.com/home/learn/...poilers-wings/

BIG WANGS - APR Rear Wing prolly or a VOLTEX wing

[go_a_way1]

Just get the biggest wang you can find to make it look like you are over compensating for something.

Thanks for the positive input, the first reply and post 7 are one of the reasons I don't post much on this forum.

If they are 100% cosmetic I guess this discussion is futile but on the off chance they're not as lots of race cars use them I have the choice between a wing that I can make new mounts for or buy a duckbill style .

Would I be correct assuming that a wing would use more fuel over the duckbill as I do a lot of country driving or is that wrong

I run the STI Gurney flap on my OEM limited wing along with the DrivewayLabs I diffuser. I also run the 86Speedfactory splitter and all the underbody panels. It might make a difference over 90. Kinda feels like it
