Mugen wing functional at all?
Do we have any clue or proof that the Mugen style rear wing will actually make any downforce? I love the style of it and would probably use the risers to add more height. I know the APR 200 wing is functional and I may just go that route. But for some reason I like the Mugen more. Are there any other budget wings that actually are functional? Even replicas? Thanks guys.

I have the sibon mugen replica wing on my car. I had it adjusted all the way down and at about 110-115 it started feeling a bit squirly. Then at the same time I put my spoon rear diffuser on I adjusted it all the way up and it seamed planted all the way to 130. Cant say if it was the spoiler adjustment or the diffuser but I doubt the diffuser does anything for downforce.

Thanks for the reply. I am sure with risers it would work better as well. From research it seems Mugen does actually test parts like wings so hopefully it will work. Such a sexy wing! You should post pics for my enjoyment lol.

I notice it's more stable at higher speeds, but I'm sure taller risers would make it more effective though. Very pleased with mine.

Looks so nice! Do you track the car? Have you driven at a high enough speed to test functionality? I'm curious Bc I like the wing a lot but it must be functional on track
I notice it's more stable at higher speeds, but I'm sure taller risers would make it more effective though. Very pleased with mine.
So if you had it to do again and were tracking still would you buy mugen again or just get the APR? I can't decide! I want the mugen but not sure how much functionality I will be giving up lol.

Good to hear! How much are you selling for? Have risers? Is it painted or carbon? I couldn't find your for sale thread.

I have 2 trunks for my S, one has the Mugen and the other doesn't, I don't like the idea of driving all the time with the large wing on the back, but that's just me.
