That is the problem...my car is a roller (blown motor) and there is no one in my small town that has scales. I don't think it is going to make that big a difference as the variance in all the cars is not all that great so an average will work. We all pretty much run the same spring rates anyway and it is based on the average weight of a Z.

You will end up with a wing.

Honestly, there aren't many wings out there that can claim that they've been track proven in a wheel to wheel racing series like Super Taikyu on the 370Z and 350Z platforms. I think CWEST is maybe the only other one but they never made anything for the Z34. It's definitely a nice kit, I'm considering replacing the end plates with something similar to the Singular pieces Hotrodz is running.

It is function over form. The big end plates aid in moving air more efficiently around the outside of the wing.

Not meaning to jack a thread (I've already sub'd to it), but Eagle, who did you order the Ings+1 wing from? I am looking into getting the regular ZPower wing with the taller uprights.

Very interesting thread
If I remember right, SPL says that going from OEM bucket to true type increases effective spring rate by 1.66. Currently running a custom front splitter with air dam with around +.5 degree AOA with 3" of protrusion. Rear wing is a Aeromotions 72" (DO NOT BUY. It works well but a **** company.) with 6 degreesl AOA. Spring rates are 14k F rear 12k in OEM bucket. So if I went to a true type I'd need somewhere around 7.2kg springs to maintain the current balance. Balance of the car is setup to understeer slightly right now. with a degree less in the wing it was almost perfectly balanced. I was running these spring rates without aero and now with. I definitely feel that I could use a bit more rate purely going off my amateur seat of pants feel. Here's SPL's spring size calculator but it's where I grabbed the info about the spring location modifier (spring motion ratio) http://www.splparts.com/content/SpringCalculator.xls

If it has high speed understeer, lower the front of the car. If it has oversteer, maybe take the main plain of the wing to 0 degrees (parallel to the ground). If it still oversteers, raise the front of the car to reduce front down I enjoy following you on Instagram!

Here are my weights with 200lbs in the drivers seat without the swaybars disconnected. They will be doing this with it disconnect to check the corner balance. She is a hefty girl now. This was a quick throw the scales under it after it was aligned.

https://professionalawesome.com/prod...iffusers-pair/ I like it balanced to have to slight understeer just cause it makes me a little more comfortable getting on the go pedal on corner exit. you may like it since you and I have more than enough power to correct understeer with go pedal haha. Right now I have a 0.5" of rake. It made a huge difference from when I initially did the aero. Heres a before and after. Granted it's on the front straight but it gives a good visual about how suspension and aero settings work at balancing the car. Wing was set at the middle setting around 10 degrees front had a positive 3 or 4 on the splitterwithout the air dam and zero rake. Was terminally understeer heavy. Thanks for the compliments!
