Ah ok i know very little about EVO-R and their products and yeah that makes makes sense!

Sorry to hear about the mishap, but that sounds like exactly what you should have expected from EVO-R. Assuming you actually receive the product, you generally get what you paid for with Jay: cheap a$$ knock-off products

Not many (esthetic) aftermarket wings can withstand hurricane force winds and several hundred pounds of downforce, which is what they are subjected to when travelling at 150 mph.

A big wing has to stand up a couple feet in the air, with skinny legs, and have to remain standing against tens to hundreds of pounds pushing down, transferring that downward force onto your car.

For a piece like that, function and utmost quality comes first, neither of which EVO-R is good at.

Consider yourself lucky you weren’t going through a high speed corner when it broke.

When Mike's wing broke at Daytona on the banking. It scared the chit out of him. He just about lost it too.

It seems that these wings are for looks and not function. Maybe they should have a sticker on them saying this? :-)

Oh, and also put on the sticker that in California it has been determined that they produce cancer.

This is why I spent the money on the Aeromotions.

Well maybe it serves some function below a certain threshold. Throwing a big deck a foot or two above hatch, we can assume it does generate some downforce (and hopefully not lifting force), otherwise it wouldn’t have snapped like that. But for darn sure there ain’t no real stress test done on it, to guarantee functionality and safety.

Should be a warning sticker out back “follow me at your own risk”.

OP, best of luck. Time to invest in some real deal wings.

The APR wings were used on the Pirelli World Cup Challenge Z cars with the supports mounted to the chassis, not the hatch. What they found was that if mounted to the hatch. At speed, the hatch would bend. Causing the wing to bend and crack, then break.

Be happy that's the only thing that broke at 150-155 and move on.

damn you guys flamed him so hard that made him not want to come back on here after reading all the comments. Poor guy was probably expecting something else. lulz

abm89 · 01-12-2021, 12:26 PM

This looked pretty light compared to some of the other stuff i've seen lmao.

Well......He didn't say where this happened at. Was it on the track or the street? Most take it as it happened on the street. So expect him to take some heat for it. He just got the 30 seconds in the microwave warm up. He didn't get the full nuke treatment.
