I've had plenty of time autocrossing my car, but have yet to track it. The past 3 seasons have been in an s2000 with stock suspension, prior has been my gsr and an audi.

Trust me i'm not going to go out and spend money on a bbk or anything along those lines. good rubber and nice suspension should be good enough for me.

I know i'm not the best driver in the world, but i already have cusco sway bars. I only have the front since that's what my class only aloud me to do. I have the rear one sitting at home, but never got around to installing it.

and who said i was going for the pretty look? all i asked was if it looked ricey or not
Glad to find out that you have auto x experience in several different vehicles including your S. My hats off to ya on that note.

I would suggest you take your car out to at least one track day with the stock suspension before you get coilovers, if anything, just so you can compare the difference between the two.

I do have a question, though... You said above;

"and who said i was going for the pretty look? all i asked was if it looked ricey or not"

Well, why were you asking about it and what was the reason you got the wing?

I assume/d it was because you wanted it for the looks because a wing at that height wouldn't add any downforce, aside from what its weight is, if you want to factor that in. So in regards it is more of an aesthetic add on, correct?

Why are you worried if the wing is rice if you already have stickers all over it?

The wing is the least of your problems regarding giving kids a reason to vandalize the car. The "FWD Sucks" sticker is fuel for any FWD owner...

Wing flows good with the rest of the car.

What's next? Front and rear diffusers?

As far as vandalism, you probably have more to worry about from you tricycle sticker than anything else.

If the wing doesn't do anything, it's rice. If the wing does almost anything at all, it's going to apply enough downforce to crush the trunk (seriously). You would need a CR trunk to do this properly.

I'm guessing you just want the thing for looks so I doubt any of that matters.
