Do you guys think the wing risers really help with down force or it’s more for the looks?

It’s more for looks.

Honda ENGINEERS spent hundreds if not thousands of hours studying/developing the current wing height in wind tunnels and on the road using some serious technology.

Who knows the education level or the research and testing (if any) these wing riser companies put into testing the effects of their products… unless otherwise stated obviously.

For example, Spoon obviously researched theirs with proof of wind tunnels. But you pay for that research and carbon fiber at the tune of $4,000 lol

They do look cool tho!

OEM risers meet safety standards in the country cars are sold. Unless aftermarket companies paid for certification, all bets are off. Anything coming from China is especially suspect in that regard.

also the aftermarket risers look terrible with the OEM wing.
