Default Ek Hatch wing/spoiler experience

I am in search of a wing for my hatch to balance it out due to adding a splitter. I see 3 types being used, the pci, gt style mounted in stock location and the ctr - sometimes with risers. In addition to these I have also looked at the seeker v2. Those who have or have used any of these what are thoughts or experience?

PCI just developed a new blade. better downforce to drag ratio I suspect. Their mounting system is very good... so good even NineLives uses their mount. both of these options will be better than the other two you listed.

Yeah, I was talking to Eric Kutil about Brian's new swan neck and revised blade. He said it has made a huge difference and works really well. More efficient, more mph and better df.

That is what I suspected, the PCI unit. The car walks a fine line between track and street. Still street driven from time to time and was hesitant to put a big wing on the back. But, my only other option is to remove the splitter. Decisions, Decisions!

I wouldn't be concerned about having a big wing on the back of a street car. It's not like it's going to obstruct your view of the rear like it will on a sedan or coupe. And if it works, who cares what it looks like.

its not going to cause much drag either... its highly likely that it lives at 0* so it will be at its lowest drag setting.

and i doubt you care that much about your mpg
