Taller than stock wing??

Does anyone know of a replacement wing for the Evo that:

a.) looks like stock
b.) is a couple of inches taller
c.) is adjustable

I figure moving the spoiler up by a few inches and making it adjustable should help greatly in eliminating rear lift at high speeds...

I don't think there's one that looks like stock. You can just get a big *** wing and then use it onyl when you're racing.

That would probably help in seeing whether that car behind you has red and blue lights on the roof as well...

The Evo wing basically blocks that out too.

hmm... don't know what to recommend for an adjustable wing but I do know Monster Sport makes a rear wing riser, found here at BP, kind of pricey...

options b&c can be accomplished but not with option a & vice versa. there might be an adjustable evo 7 spoiler out there but don't quote me.

Ludi,
Save the money and go get a friend who is morbidly obese, and strap him in the back seat on race-days!

The stock wing is adjustable according to the owners manual.

the owners manual is not corrected from the evo vii, the vii spoilers are adjustable. i actually don't know how... but they are. and that set of risers should work with it. now i'd say just get a real adjustable wing... the car already attracts all the attention you don't need.
