A big wing has to stand up a couple feet in the air, with skinny legs, and have to remain standing against tens to hundreds of pounds pushing down, transferring that downward force onto your car.

For a piece like that, function and utmost quality comes first, neither of which EVO-R is good at.

Consider yourself lucky you weren’t going through a high speed corner when it broke.
