How Functional (If at all) is my........
STi Wing? I mean seriously.... It's like a bookshelf! I dunno, I've only taken her up to high enough speeds like a hand full of times in the middle of the night, and we'll the car feels great. No "floaty" feeling, but I dunno.... Anyway, debating if I should keep it or go wingless.. 2007 limited mini spoiler lookin mighty nice right now...
Convince me otherwise!
kplzthx

If you remove the wing, your gonna have to cover the holes on the trunk. Doing a trunk swap with someone who has a wingless trunk would be the best thing to do. The sti limited mini spolier is pretty nice looking.

yeah been lookin at the limited spoiler ever since the car came out. So I figured the vane, and the limited spoiler would look pretty clean.
Though I still need to put soap on my car and drive slow, so that I can make huge bubbles with my current wing

i remember when i took off my wrx wing. At high speed the car didn't feel very stable.
Regular street driving, it won't make a difference
Trunk swap would be best if you can find someone willing to swap a wingless trunk with ur sti one.
otherwise you'll end up with 14 holes on top.
or buy the voltex trunk cover and cover it up.

I've tracked my car with and without my spoiler and for tracks like big willow and even button willow, spoilers and aero makes a difference.
In terms of street use. Spoilers are useless imo but for track use its a different story

Ya thats what i figured... I don't know when I will ever goto the track again. So yeah... I guess I could always look for a salvaged trunk, paint it, then get the limited spoiler... And just swap out the trunk SHOULD i ever hit the track again..

I believe the STi wing produces 80lbs of down force at 80mph. That's what I've read.
