Hi,

I just found this topic on the WRX/STI forums. This guy claims 1.5-2mph oextra trap speed due to less drag and no downforce. By the way, I am sonicowrx03 on that forum

Does anyone tried this on the Evos?, any gains? I also wondered doing that on my car.

Thanks!!

Carlos

 

Its nothing new, yes you will gain a mph or two.

 

yup yup..true

 

it's not worth the hassle for me. rather spend my time for something worthy

 

holy crap!
2mph in the quarter is a good jump.

 

learning something new everyday.

thanx!!

 

true the wing causes drag at the strip and downforce on the track. I run without my wing and I personally thing the EVO carves much better without it. As for tracks with speeds of 120+ I'd recommend putting it back on cuz' that rear does get quite squirrely at that speed.

 

with better/lower suspension doesnt seem you would be in too terrible head wind, 2 mph is a great jump, thats a catback right there

 

depends on what motorsport you do.. drags.. take it off.. track/roadrace/circuit.. you will need downforce!

 

I like the wing...its like the evo's trademark...looks good.

 

The stock Evo wing is designed to increase downforce at speeds over 80mph.
For roadracers, this is important under braking and at high speed corners but may not be necessary for the drag enthusiasts.

I experienced this first hand at Laguna Seca, my 2005 RS was unstable and tail happy approaching turn 2 before I installed the stock wing.

 

Even if you dont gain anything performance wise from it, at least you drop 2 notches on the ricer scale by removing it.

 

 

This is very interesting stuff about the removal of the wing. But who has actually drag raced their Evo before and after the wing removal and what was your before and after E.T's and MPH's?

 

Thanks you soo much, I will go to the track next time without it.
