Srsly though if you drive fast in your Sti & you take off the wing you're an rtard cause it feels waaay more stable at 90+

And doesn't the wing add at least 50 BHP, as opposed to the ****ty "dbTuned" sticker which only adds like 20 BHP.

I noticed the difference the first time i hit freeway speed... the back end used to feel kinda floaty & now its feels more solid... the extra weight over the back wheels probably doesnt hurt either.

My wings not that big so I have to go a bit faster. How much does the STi wing weigh? roughly.

It's rice, but looks good. I thought you had removed the gaywing? Tint the windows and you're good to go.
