I took of my stock 2 post spoiler today, and i noticed a HUGE difference in the way the car feels at speeds above ~60 mph. Lighter? More unstable than before? does anyone else feel that difference or is it mind over matter?

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

take the wing off and go do 80 down the highway and weave a little bit (not out of control and drive wrecklessly) just switch lanes faster then usual...then go home put it back on and go do the same thing...you'll feel a difference...wings are all aerodynamics and meant to push down on the rear end above speeds of 50mph...they are designed to do this...i dont think you were expecting your car to feel this way after removing it so it cant be in your head...we did the same thing with my uncles camaro...with out the 3 section wing the whole @ss end is wobbly...put it back on and its like night and day on the highway going 65+

but wouldnt that be slightly related to the drive wheels haveing less traction? where as a fwd celica would have less effect. idk your really making me want to take off my spoiler tongue.gif
