Wing required
Hello
i need a wing (rear spoiler) for track use, that actually works, not for looks.
Could you please point me into the right direction and who to purchase from.
thank you

Are you sure you need a wing. I have the Mazdaspped wing and to be honest it does not add much but it is functional. The problem you have is downforce in the rear creates lift on the front increasing understeer which you don't want.
I bought the Mazdaspeed wing as it is adjustable, functional and looks great and I would recommend it. You could always get a universal Aluminum or carbon fiber one which range from about $100-$1000 which will give more significant downforce.
If you want to go faster (other than driving ability), buy better tires is about 75% improvement, better suspension 15%, lighter weight 7%, more power 2.99% aero 0.01% Just my opinion but I don't think my aero makes my car any faster on the track.

What Arca said. Dj performance wings are also extremely good.
I'm sure you don't mind cutting your quarter panels to install a Kognition wing... since it's for track use
Don't listen to monchie, he's an idiot.

You might have more luck asking this question over in the RX-8 Racing subforum instead of the Appearance subforum. Be prepared to have the wing mounted entirely custom. Be prepared to shell out a bunch of money.
Adding the wing without a proper front splitter that extends back under the nose to the chassis and mounts there is a recipe for a disaster on the track. If you only add aero to the front or rear, add it to the front first, since nose lift is our first problem, not rear lift.

The car is being built for circuit work only. Not many people work on them where i am in Australia. I would love to know whats on the Panspeed car. If i have to custom mount i dont care. I also want to buy a carbon boot lid.

If you are in Australia contact thetunersgroup.com. Excellent customer service and a hell of an engineering\development group (made of actual aero\race\suspension engineers...).
They retail DJ performance wings as well. Drop them a line!

I have an APR GT200 adjustable wing setup with gurney flap and aero fastener options that I'm interested in selling. I only removed it because they changed the class rules to eliminate aero devices. I really hated taking it off. It uses the OE appearance package wing mounting holes. I have the pattern sheets for drilling the mounting holes if your trunk doesn't have the factory wing option.
