I'm hankering for more grip on track.

I'm already fully braced, coilovers a d R888r's.

Going to make a flat bottom tray and front splitter, but in the meantime. I'm thinking big wing.

This currently tops my list for a quick boot mount.

Anyone else running something similar or had experience of one etc.

Yes. It works.
Also on the street at surprisingly low speeds.
First hand evidence based.

I'm in the same boat, but from what I've read you will need a functional front splitter in conjunction with the rear wing. If you just have the wing then this will create more front end lift countering the affect of the wing.

This is the wing I'll be going for, the reason it has higher legs to reach the roof line. These Chinese eBay specials don't look functional at all as they're sat to low.

That is not possible UNLESS the wing pushing the rear down creates negative rake, i.e the rear lower than the front. This is easily enough solved by mechanical means: When correcting the right hight for the reduced weight, I lowered the front a bit more.

Also I have added a small lip under the ´chin´ and vented the bonnet; now thát reduces front lift.

The combo is quite good enough for me ;-)

You'll be watching all the YouTube videos on aero like me as well then!

I'm hoping front splitter with a diy front flat bottom and canards will offset it.
