Default Best spoiler/wing for a drift build

Hi all,

might be a bit of a strange question but what does everyone think about the best spoiler/wing for a more daily/drift bias build? I like the look of the Nismo v3 style wing, however i didnt know if a more conservative ducktail style spoiler would be better for function and some of them are pretty good looking, i am also looking at getting some other aero to go along with it.

thanks

A spoiler isn't going to add any significant down-force at drifting speeds.

yeah i know but i was more thinking along the lines of obviously if a wing is too big it is more prone to blocking view or getting caught on walls etc.. rather than adding down force as it wouldn't really be effective for much more than looks under 100mph or whatever

If your not a pro, or running pro-am events, stay cheap and keep your budget for things that get you more drifting practice

Well, it seems like you are leaning more toward forms than functions. Coming from my experience, i have GT wing on my z but i only use that for track purposes. For street use? Heck no. For drift/street use, you dont need wing at all. It is totally unnecessary. But if your purpose to have wing is for looks, all about show, I suggest get nismo wing v3 for street use, or any duck lip style wing, whatever it is.
Just dont get GT wing or anything higher than nismo V3 for street use. It gives me an impression the driver is immature in my opinion. I like to stay low profile but functional. Again it is up to you, whatever you wanna do. I would rather save my money for other mods that are more useful. Like tires.

Spend your money on the suspension, for a competition car that is always the crucial factor but not the cheap one.
