^ all a wing will is put downforce on the REAR wheels that dont even drive the car, and it would basically slow you down. now if you were in like an indy car, and are hitting speeds at around close to 200 or better, then yes you need a wing to keep control of the car, its just physics.

exactly.... dont waist money on a wing for a honda period, they just look gay and you will get flamed for it.

if you like a viper or an rx7 or something like that, then yes a wing will help you. but you dont, its a honda

Duh for those 35mph blast through town, and also to support the oil companies since your MPG will decrease. It all makes sense.

Someone at RPI did or found a study about the tradeoffs between downforce and power on a 4"x6' wing, we have the analysis and graph in the shop. It's hilarious seeing the wings on a street car, even stock wings like the STi has...

You only need a wing if you have Stage 4 vtech cause Stg 4 vtech give you alot of boost.

When you have Stage 4 vtech you need a wing similiar to this.

I think he is talking about oem spoilers. Some people use spacers/washers to make the oem spoiler on hatches tilt up a lil more
