A long time ago I got a Drift Tengoku magazine that had a test about different wings' downforce on a S14. Pretty informative in my opinion.Over the years I have seen a lot of misinformation about wings being useless and just for looks.I decided to go through my old magazines (Drift Tengoku, Battle Magazine, Option, Option2 - 1999-2006) to find the article and "scan" it up just as some general knowledge for the 240sx community these days. I don't have a scanner anymore, so I used my camera phone.Anyways, here it is.
B wave style wing
Cusco GT wing
Cusco GT wing (different type)
Silvia wing
Here is the line graph they did for it. The vertical axis is the amount of downforce and the horizontal is for the speed.
and one more for a closer look at the results.
So, as you can see, wings DO something for your S14. Even the stock Silvia wing does a little (surprisingly!)
I hope this helps out somebody or just makes you go, "ohhh, interesting"
