APR GT-250 Honda Civic Type R Spec Wing - Honda Type R 2017 - up

Here’s a breakdown of the APR GT-250 wing options for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8, 2017+).

What Is the APR GT-250 Wing for Type R

• The GT-250 is an adjustable 2D airfoil wing designed to produce good downforce with minimal drag.  
• Made from pre-preg carbon fiber (very lightweight, very strong).  
• Comes with pre-installed Gurney flaps to further improve aerodynamic performance.  
• Uses 6061 billet aluminum pedestals (brackets) for mounting.  
• Angle of attack is adjustable — so you can tune how much downforce vs drag you want.  
• Fitment: Uses factory spoiler mounting holes on the Type R — so no need for crazy custom mounting if done properly.  
• Compatibility: Specifically fits Honda Civic Type R FK8 (2017–2021).  

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Very good aerodynamic performance (downforce) — helps with stability at high speeds / track driving.
• Lightweight (carbon fiber) — adds minimal weight.
• Adjustable angle — can tune for your driving style.
• OEM-mount compatibility (uses factory spoiler holes) — relatively clean install if done properly.

Considerations / Downsides:

• Carbon fiber wings are expensive.
• With adjustable angle, if you set high downforce, you’ll create more drag, affecting top speed.
• Need to ensure correct installation — misalignment can damage or vibrate, especially during high-speed cornering.
• Lead time (2–3 weeks for some variants) — not something you can pick up local unless a seller stocks it.

Recommendation (for You)

• If you’re doing a track-focused build: Go for the 67″ GT-250 (either standard or swan-neck) — more downforce, more surface.
• If it’s more for street + occasional weekend spirited driving: The 61″ version might be enough and look more balanced.
• Make sure to talk to a local or regional parts importer / performance shop: shipping a carbon wing can be expensive, and you might need to pay import duty / tax.
• When installing, either do it professionally or double-check torque specs and alignment — you don’t want it to flex badly or stress the trunk.
