How to Choose a GT Wing

1. Choose the car models

There are a lot of brands and models. For example, please refer to the following table. Also, the tuning cars and such that need to be installed on the outer side of the trunk, or on the side of the fender, are deliberated early on from the stages of molding process. (There may be cases when charges are separately or additionally due.)

Eunos/S2000 / MR-S / DC-2 (Integra) / DC-5 / DB-8 / CR-X CL-1 (Accord, Euro) / CT (Celica) / Z-ZT (Celica) / 180SX / S13 / S14 / S15 / R32 / R33 / R34 / AE86 (4-door, HT) / AE111 / EVO4 / EVO5 / EVO6/ EVO7 / Z33 / FD / FC / JZA80 / JZX100 / NSX / ImprezaGC8 /GDB / EG6 / EK9 /

2. The Wing type

What is considered as the best condition is when the area-wise portion of Wing slightly exceeds beyond that of car’s rear train. Whether to make this proportion between them larger or smaller, simply depend on the Users’ preference or choice of styling. Wings narrower than the maximum width of the car by more than 330mm, is considered to be in conformance with the safety criteria (the Japa nese Standard). Depending on some models however, there could be ones that may NOT come within the said standrange of criteria.

3. The Wing width
For wing width, we use Voltex as a reference

Type II or III is recommended for cars with a rounded rear train.


While for a square rear train, Type IV or V is recommended.


Type I having a 1500mm width is applicable to either (rounded or square). Also, with a Wing having the same width, the types can be determined according to the amount of down force; (greater the down force,) Type III →Type V →Type II →Type I →Type IV.
