Default Question for the ones who drove a wingless type R

Driving a type R with no wing. Have you ever got a feeling that the car is missing grip from the rear or you haven'T felt any difference event at high speed cornering....I asked myself this question because I know a guy that owns a ITR prepared for racing only and he added an alumumium racing wing because he hasn'T enough grip from the rear of the car at high track speeds ... I saw a guy that removed the wing from is ITR that saw is ET dropped by .2.3 and mphincresed by 1 or 2 mph... incredible....what s your advice on that ?

That would be my guess. I would not take off the wing. I love the way it looks. I think if you like the integra wingless... lose it 9/10times you wont notice the performance difference.

It feels more stable with it on at high speeds and when braking from them in track situations/conditions.

"Track" as in road course.

"High speeds" as in 90 MPH and above.

I had mine off for over a year. It's back on and no reason to take it off again.
