save it for track day, you don't have that much oversteer to begin with.

Get the 96-00 Civic sedan Mugen wing instead, I'd say.

It's hard to tell how big the wing you posted is based on in the picture since there's no frame of reference, but I'm inclined to say it's super ugly...maybe it could be pulled off by a hardcore tracked out car.



Otherwise, no!

Well if your car is going to be tracked get somthing that is adjustible. One size fits all downforce doesnt work for road racing. You probably would need to change it per track depending on conditions.

If you are just getting because you're tracking your car you dont need it. if you have stability problems then this might help. Honestly with a non adjustible wing unless its set at an almost flat angle your probably doing more harm than good.

My $.02.

What are you doing to the front to add downforce there?
