Will a GT style/ carbon fiber wing actually help for downforce more than a lip/duckbill spoiler? I love the way they look but I think I would rather have one for my highway driving and when I go out to tracks. I tried driving this car on the highway and I was getting tossed around like I was nothing from time to time..I really hate that feeling and like being more stable.

You will get increased downforce IF it is set up properly, and is a quality item (i.e. not a $99 Ebay special). The drawbacks though are that you're likely to have more drag, so freeway-level speeds may affect top speed and fuel economy. That's why I'm going with the one I selected. SARD's Fuji-spec spoiler was designed with high-speed circuits in mind; so it may have less downforce than some others out there, but it'll also have a lot less drag. And since I live in the middle of the desert (i.e. not a decent curvy road within 300 miles of here), that means my girl will be spending most of her time on the freeway above 65 mph. |

I wish something like this would become available, i had it on my 350Z its an original Nismo Long Nose 350z wing. Fully adjustable so you can change the setup for street or track.
Here is a pic of my ex 350z with the wing on!! Id totally rock something like this on my FR-S!!

Mm, that would also be incredibly good looking. Unfortunately, I live in the desert, and since this car's my daily driver that means it'll be sitting in a parking lot in direct sun a lot more than I would like. So I'm concerned about the carbon fiber resin discoloring or disintegrating in the heat. I figured it would be cheaper and easier to replace the wing-tips in a couple of years (especially since SARD sells them separately, and in different styles) than to replace the whole wing itself.
