Default Driving Straight

I Think Mitsu intentionally design a Huge Wing to stabilize the 2008 Lancer during high speed.
That's why I didn't buy the GTS because of the spoiler that distract my view when I look atthe car behind me.

I noticed when driving my DE Lancer the car tend to swave a little to the left or right when doing 75 mpg on astraight line. But I found a way to make it drive straighter.

I asked the Mitsu Dealer to adjust the steering wheel and it helped a little. I think lowering the car might also helped but not sure.

If younotice only the Lancer had a huge wingthe 2008Civic, Nissan Altima and Maxima had smaller wings but 2008 Subaru has the same huge wings like the Lancer.

Smaller spoiler are not yet for sale but buying a smaller one might change the performance of the Lancer.

.....i'm sure the wing is functional.

i do not mind the height or width .

i just think the cross-sectional area of the horizontal part is way too thick.

you can always remove it and buy an aftermarket one that looks stock
