Description
The Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing is designed for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 enthusiast looking for a significant increase in rear aerodynamic downforce, improved high-speed stability, and greater confidence on the track. Designed to bolt directly to the factory trunk, the UCW Rear Wing provides a straightforward installation while delivering substantial aerodynamic performance.
The UCW Rear Wing uses an advanced swan neck mounting design and an airfoil derived from the Verus Engineering V1X Element. During development, Verus Engineering utilized state-of-the-art aerodynamic analysis and CFD to optimize the airfoil for the available build volume. The design was further evaluated to ensure the wing receives adequate airflow when installed on the vehicle and performs effectively.
In-house vehicle scan data was used throughout the development process to achieve a near-OEM fit and finish. The result is a precision-engineered rear wing that integrates cleanly with the FK8 while providing the substantial rear downforce required for serious track use.
The UCW Rear Wing is an ideal choice for track-focused FK8 owners who need a significant increase in rear downforce to balance a substantial front aerodynamic package. With its adjustable angle of attack and high-strength construction, the wing can be configured to complement a wide range of front aero setups.
UCW wings are assembled per order and will ship within 5 business days from receipt of order unless otherwise specified.

Aerodynamic Performance
The Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing was specifically developed for the FK8 Honda Civic Type R enthusiast who wants substantially more rear-end downforce. The wing is capable of operating and generating downforce from 0 to 15 degrees of angle of attack, allowing the aerodynamic load to be adjusted to complement different front aero configurations.
When used as part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 3 aerodynamic package, the UCW Rear Wing works with the rest of the aerodynamic system to produce a significant increase in overall downforce. This additional aerodynamic load can help reduce lap times, increase cornering speed, and provide greater driver confidence on track.
Verus Engineering developed the UCW Rear Wing using both CFD analysis and real-world testing. The strong correlation between the CFD results and physical testing validated the aerodynamic development process and confirmed the wing's performance against the design objectives.
Installation
The UCW Rear Wing is designed to bolt directly to the OEM trunk for a straightforward installation. The complete kit includes the required uprights, trunk mounts, endplates, and installation hardware for a seamless installation.
