i found a nice spoiler off a 96+ gt4 with the riser blocks and would really like to know if they fit on a 185. i think it has been done before. thanks

The purpose of the rear wing is to correct the inherent balance disadvantage of a transverse-engined car compared with longitudinal-engined models like Fords and Subaru's. The aerofoil has been designed to minimise drag losses while still increasing the downforce and it is effective from 100-120 kph upwards.
"We get better traction and it makes the car more stable. The wing has two positions, up and down, with removable distance pieces. In the Japanese market it will be sold with the wing in me up position and the pieces in place, but to help transport the export cars the pieces will be removed and stowed in me boot ready to fit on arrival. "We are expecting to sell around 2500 examples in Japan alone with the pieces in place. The amount of downforce is influenced by ride height and we still have to carry out wind tunnel tests, but it's expected that there will be 50 kg of downforce at 100 kph with the wing in the up position, and maybe five times more than that with the wing at the low position."

looks to me as a copy of Subaru STi spoiler :twisted:Tazka":1nolpxw0 said:Looks nice.
Any other photos of that spoiler?
I saw this vr4 today, and thought how this kind of spoiler would look like on st185...
