Would like some opinions from people who have tried the rear wings in autocross. Is the difference noticeable?

Course dependant.
The last event was on a runway so it was fast lane change and slalom we were in the top of zd 3rd with thoughts of going to 4th. in this instance yes it helped allot. Slow courses not so much. if a region makes courses that keep me in 2nd gear I usually don't gop back. One thing we noticed is there is hardly no rubber dust collecting on the back of the car now. Over 100 MPH it is very stable once I added the 6" splitter blade. |

I know it looks like a parachute and needs more hp to drive but it may help in the lower speed sections of the course. I'm going to look into one and see how i fare. Too much time on my hands I guess!! BTW, I looked at your car on putfile. Nice ride! One question. Can you mount the side dams on your wing with the bigger side up? I would think less air would spill off the sides of the wing that way. Just a thought. Attached image(s)
