At what speed do rear wings start making a diff?

Does the Seibon MG-Style adjutable wing produce similar downforces at 85-100+mph? I want an APR GT200 wing, but want the Seibon mugen ss style wing for streetable looks. Do you think the mugen wing is functional?

Back up, wondering how functional the MG wing is because I can't get one of the nice Voltexs and I need one that sits lower.

There's def a noticeable difference between the seibon/mugen and the GTC200; due to the size and height differences. Just get a GTC for track and take it off or keep it on for daily, there are plenty of guys in socal who run full gt wings on their daily S, I have the GTC200 myself and it's a daily/track car

That doesn't mean we "want" the full size wing. I was wondering if the MG will still help, even though it doesn't sit level with the hardtop.

It definitely will, just a little bit though. People have stated to feel a bit more stable over 80mph. I personally don't know, but I feel more stable already at 60mph with the gtc 200

Thank you sir

I can't commit to an appropriate (read taller) wing right now, as I know it would just draw MORE attention to my car parked and asked to by stolen. Sad, I know. Plus I really like the lower MG one.

Yea that blows. Luckily I park in a garage overnight, and the only other place my car sits is in a parking deck on campus (somewhat safer, esp since there seems to be like 1 other S2000 at all of UNC).

Get a second trunk lid or just remove the posts and plug the holes when you are not on the track. No point in spending a lot of money on a compromise.
