As I start watching more and more autocross I start to notice all the attention played to abnormally huge down force adders. So I made a little picture that includes the two main type I see at the events and my question is …WHICH ONE IS BETTER?? It seems that they would both have their pros and cons. But which is the better of them? If you run a rear spoiler or wing why do you run that one over the other?? Type a vs. type b?
Full Version: wings and spoilers

CSP and SSM have a different set of rules regarding aero. This may be part of why you see a difference.
What Jason said...
My guess is everyone would run wings if they were allowed to (assuming they want/need DF), but the rules force some people to run giant airbrakes (spoilers).
