THANKS TO
Evasive Motorsports for great customer service and fast shipping

Auto Glo (AUTOGLO Collision Center) for a great install, professionalism, and great pricing. This is definitely a great body shop. Ask for Kevin.

And to Mike (here on the forums) for recommending Auto Glo.

APR for making such a great quality wing. The carbon fiber weave is perfect.

Well guys I install a wing on my car and I love it. It is a APR GTC 200 universal wing. The stands are mounted 29 1/2'' apart with a wingspan of 59 1/2'' and height of 8 1/2'' to the highest point. So I'd say it's a conservative wing but still very funtional. I have just started to track so even then this will still serve a great purpose in my learning experience.

Just today going home on the interstate at 55mph I could more than tell it was there. The car felt so more planted, especially when switching lanes. Then at 85mph it was just that much more. I couldn't only imagine at 120mph would it would be like. Or just having a bigger wing and what they do.

I hope you guys like. Enjoy. I still have love for the haters too.

And the view out the rear. This pic was taken at eye level. You can see very little of the bottum side of the wing. So it's defiantly not obstructing your view.

What size wheels u use at th track?? Wing is clean btw.

SPOHN · 10-17-2011, 03:15 PM

Then same ones you see there. 19x9.5 F and 19 10.5 R. Tires are RE-11's in 265 F and 305 R. There pretty light for what they are. I believe 22lbs on the rear wheel only.

HKYStormFront · 10-17-2011, 03:34 PM

looks like kind of a steep angle of attack to me...

SPOHN · 10-17-2011, 03:40 PM

I haven't adjusted it yet. It's a 3%. Zero (being lowest in the center section) is recommended for starters and it goes up to 15% I believe. Depends on understeer and oversteer. Have tp do some testing.

HKYStormFront · 10-17-2011, 03:42 PM

ah ok, just looks a lot steeper in the pics for some reason. not sure what mike and others run there's at but seems like they run it a tad lower than that. 1* or 2* iirc

I talk to Mike abouut his also. He's at the lowest setting. But we do have a little different looking wings. So that could throw it off. Or the angle of the pics. That's your speciality.

Just looked. It's not as bad as the pics make look.

HKYStormFront · 10-17-2011, 04:01 PM

just asked bryan, his response:

hope that helps...

Baer383 · 10-17-2011, 04:02 PM

It looks like the wing off of Mikes plane.
You better give it back he needs it.

SPOHN · 10-17-2011, 04:08 PM

So he can make that flyby

Mike · 10-17-2011, 04:15 PM

Yeah, it does look like a steep angle, but its probably the pictures. I run 0 on mine. Reexamining their table and actually reading the data, it shows that at 0 I have 345lbs of downforce at 120, for comparison.

Mike · 10-17-2011, 04:18 PM

It does look great though!

HKYStormFront · 10-17-2011, 04:20 PM

yea that's probably what bryan's does at 2* i would guess...

SPOHN · 10-17-2011, 04:39 PM

After looking at it more it's defiantly the angle of the pics along with the design of the wing. The end plates angle down but the wing is flat. But it is a 3 degree's also.
