Yes, exactly. I think the CR wing is probably a design compromise. It trades price and aesthetics for aerodynamic effectiveness and adjustability. If the user is also looking for those trades, it could be just the ticket. Otherwise I would recommend a higher, possibly larger, adjustable wing. Hopefully one that actually has some proof behind it. It's easy to make something that looks like a wing, harder to make something that works like a wing.

i just read through this thread, and i'm wondering if anyone actually followed up with honda and got any numbers or explanations or data from them regarding the cr wing?
also, maybe i'm confused, but isn't lift and downforce basically the same thing? if you're reducing lift, you're creating downforce, right? if this is so, why is honda stating in terms of reducing lift vs. just saying a certain amount of downforce?

hi, i am an actual windtunnel.
take it from me guys... wing totally works!

sorry for reviving an old tread, was reseraching the wing.
Anyhow on the JDM s2000 website, using google translate it states that honda used a wind tunnel under the aerodynamics section.

Also strake that is provided on the front and rear, which contributes to the reduction of air resistance by controlling the flow of air that hits the tire.
As a result of the above, C as a whole car D while minimizing the increase in value, C L significantly reduce the value.
Furthermore C before and after L By balancing the values in the direction to increase the stability of the rear,
in the straight-turning at high speed, and have acquired very stable behavior, maneuverability
