only the center locks, otherwise it relies on traction control
note they started at 25k back in 06, and in some markets this gen was still sold up to 2018 lol
I see one around every so often that has a small lift and AT tires that always gets my attention. I didn't realize that they have 4lo, now I'm getting bad ideas lol.

I’ve always loved your build but I have to ask....does the wing make a difference compared to stock? Only reason I can potentially understand it is because you actually track the car hard and often. Can’t stand these gigantic wings 95% of the time #whatsnext #F7LTHY

I think honestly the wing wouldn't help... On an AWD car you generally WANT the rear to rotate a bit, and the wing would make it more difficult to do so with the down force, assuming it makes measurable down force at speed. Might be a primarily cosmetic thing.
does it work? Absolutely. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Sorry I typed all this out before but it got deleted. Yes it’s functional. In non-aero mode (no wing or splitter) I get 10.2L/100km average over my tank of gas commuting. With aero that goes up to 12.2L/100km. I went even further and datalogged throttle input between aero and non aero mode.
I reiterate, is it necessary? No. Is it functional? Yes. Still lots of chassis tuning to go, and still waiting on other aero parts that are made-to-order, and others that won’t ship until the borders are open.
Based on my absolutely unscientific approach, I'd say the wing helps even on a FWD car.
The wing would allow you to run a much looser setup which could be very twitchy at high speeds. The wing would keep the ass planted on high speed sweepers but allow you to have a harder attack on the tight slow stuff. At the expense of top speed of course.
Wow. I'm actually surprised at the noticable fuel economy increase for daily commuting too. Didn't think wings mattered that much unless in high speeds.

I remember running the J's wing on my ITR made a difference on a few of the mid speed parts on the ridge versus the original factory issue stock wing.
rear was more stable and felt a bit less nervous. Same tires, same suspension set up. only thing was the spoon lip (which I doubt made a difference on the front, besides the brake duct upgrade) and the J's wing itself. Was running the middle on the angle of attack on that wing.
I'm sure these wings have a purpose to a certain extent.. I mean McLaren Senna's wing is a monster of a wing and that car generates a black hole amount of downforce...
