Default Searching for a good rear spoiler.

Hello !

Im building a 2006 SI for my sponsor that I will drive in 2007 and I need to find a GOOD adjustable rear spoiler. It have to be 2'' under the highest point of the roof thats about it for the rules.

Anyone have an idea, I know APR, the RSX Mugen wing is really nice but $$$...

Thanks !

Here is a link to the car in construction : http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19376

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you looking for a wing and not a spoiler? A spoiler only has air above it to reduce lift / produce downforce, a wing uses both side to get greater gains.

And if the only requirement is to keep it below the roofline, then it sounds like any of the commonly available aluminum or carbon fiber wings would be more than adequate. Getting enough rear downforce shouldn't be too hard on a FWD car, the question is how to balance it out with front downforce.
