Absolutley wingless. The car is too smooth everywhere else to have a spoiler.

OK, I might be getting ahead of myself but here goes.
  1. Drop the wing.
  2. Slam the car.
  3. Rock big, flush wheels.
  4. Buy big stick to keep all the ladies back.

Car is lowered 2inchec allready. I'm not gonna slam it and mess up the geometry of the car. The car is really light, it needs some body roll so can stick in high G corners. The suspension is very stiff though.

I'm defiantly not going wingless. The front of the car allready gets pretty light around 140+ so I defiantly want some kinda wing back there.

I plan on getting wheels soon. 17x9.5 and 17x10.5 Volk 57Pro Gramlights. Big wheels look goofy on my car, and big wheels are heavy.

Yes, the FD is my daily driver. It's my only car. That's my favorite part about my car. It's not some wimpy show car. There are 180mph+ rock chips on the front bumper to prove it.

I'm still leaning towards the J-Spec wing. The stock wing looks like something from a ford taurus.

Body roll for high g corners doesn't make any sense at all. Two evenly loaded tires will produce more lateral force than two unevenly loaded tires.

If the front is getting light, it looks like you need to work on producing downforce on the front rather than the rear.

180mph rock chips...ha.

I'm not gonna thow on some coilovers just yet. I'm still getting acquainted to the car. With the suspension it has now, it gets a little bit of under steer. I'd rather deal with understeer than oversteer on a car than I'm trying to get used too. Especially at the power levels I am at.

I'v considered slapping a couple of the Re Ameyia front conards on the front bumper. My first thing I need to look at is a front splash guard. I have to order one from mazda japan for my J-Spec bumper.

Doubt either of those wings does much in the way of down force. If you want downforce I would consider a GT-style wing or a rear diffuser.

By big wheels I meant 18's, not 22's and not heavy. TE37's and TCII's in 18 would both be lighter than the Gramlights in 17. CR Kai's are only 1lb heavier in 18.

Lol. He's got NO idea who we are, Mac.

Buy coilovers if you want a REAL stiff suspension. You've got more balls than I thought...... 180mph on SPRINGS! WTF?! Thats scary man, real scary.

Oh yeah...... Wingless. Still. (Unless you by a functional one as mentioned above).

GT-style giant wing and rear diffuser along with other properly setup aero + 18" wide low offset TE37's (wide meaning more than 10") + super slammed with suspension setup to account for the difference from stock height - rotary = badass FD

everything else is just a waste of money that could be spent on something cool.
