And you run a non-staggered wheel/tire setup on your car correct? That would make sense.... I'm suprised that a car as fast as the ASM would use a low wing. Don't most of the big name time attack S2k's run non-staggered and high wings???

 

But look at the ings wing on the white S2000 that quit abit higher then the Mugen

 

Just to add another style to the discussion, here is an example of a Mid-Height wing

 

Does the Ings wing mount at the same location as the OEM/Mugen location?

 

No

 

I wonder if the Mugen Spoiler works like the NASCAR spoilers? I don't watch much NASCAR but their aero works well up to 200 mph with only a spoiler (and a complete body kit)! If you think about that it makes you wonder what would work best for our cars.

Mugen Spoiler;


NASCAR Spoiler;


That makes the list of choices;
1. High Wing
2. Mid Wing
3. Low Wing
4. Spoiler

 

Spoilers work well, but they produce significant drag compared to a wing.

 

I'm currently running the ASM Trunk and wing that they ran on their race car up until 2005. It's along the lines of a mid height wing. I happen to love it since my car is street driven and those super high wings look a little rediculous.

This is a hard question to answer about an ideal wing, since absolutely downforce is very subjective to setup and driving style.

All I can do is post some pics of my wing on my car. Ings, J's, ASM are all great wings, quality wise and functionality wise. Ultimatley it's up to how much downforce you need and what looks right to you if you're using it on the street.

 

wouldn't it be more advantageous to run a spoiler with a hardtop?

With that said, the choice of wing height is more dependent on driving style and handling characteristics rather than simply choice of non-staggered or staggered wheel setup.
