Aerodynamics Question

i am going to purchase the wing in the link below swap with the spoiler that came with the car for track day usage and was wondering if anybody has used this wing or a similar one and if they noticed a difference in handling because my car tends to oversteer and i have tried tuning the suspension and haven't gotten the benefits that i am looking for

p.s. this will probably get moved but there is no forum for aerodynamic mods

thats a nasty wing. dont put that on your car, it will do nothing for your handling. all it will do is maybe help keep the back planted while your going 100+ mph

ouch, you're gonna have to drill new holes for that.... and probably warp the trunk. just like all the civics that used to have those, their trunks are all funked up because its a universal spoiler. i would really think about this if i were in your shoes. i think your issue can be handled in tuning the suspension. maybe your setup isnt what you really need.

for a spoiler like that to actually work you have to be going a certain speed. generally speaking, you would probably have to be doing WELL over 100mph. what kind of "tuning" did you do to your suspension? is your car lowered? lowering your car helps the handling characteristics of the car a little but if you're looking to stiffen things up considerably I would suggest getting sway bars. as far as oversteering goes, it's expected, you drive a RWD car.
