More Downforce more drag

 

Less Downforce less drag

 

 

[Mllcg]

More Downforce more drag

 

Less Downforce less drag

 

im thinking of more downforce with less drag.

 

btw, which one looks nicer too?

 

and if i go gt wings, how should the wing be facing? broad side facing front or tilted back?

If you were to make it very high, parking may be an issue for you.

Eh you want the wing merely as a cosmetic enhancement to your ride right?

to some extent.

 

but i also need to see which position to put the gt wing.

 

cosmetic is one.

 

the other is also for the handling la.

The wing should be slanting downwards towards your rear windshield. Don't try the opposite slanting arrangement unless you want to try to take off.

If you get the type meant for cosmetic purposes, your handling improvement may be negligible or worsen. You want to improve handling, get a proper one that's purpose is to do that. Same with people who buy fake wedssport rims. these fakes obviously won't do much to the car's handling. My school's technician, got a proton gen 2 then decided to put fake wedssports on. For all you know these may be worse than the original rims that came with the car.

how about straight?

[Happily1986]

how about straight?

straight is useless. just for show off. you want downforce then you must slant the wing towards windshield. depending on what is your compromise point between drag and downforce (both are mutually exclusive), you get your desired angle of slant.

can i reduce drag but increase downforce?

[Yc86]

First one is nicer.. it's new right? 2nd one looks quite old. Plus the first one looks taller?

 

Get the taller one loh. When you hang your cloth after washing the car, won't touch the boot.

 

Performance wise, the wing does not contribute as much towards downforce compared to the car's body itself. eg. thru flat underbody and diffusers.
