GT Wing Help

MasterP · 07-28-2014, 12:15 PM

Leaning strongest towards APR GT250. But I'm not sure if I should get the
61" or the 67" The GTC 300 is intriguing, and I do prefer the look but I've heard they are more draggy.

Voltex is also an option, but it is slightly more $$, and I'm not seeing many (if any) tracked E92's with them. But they do have more wing designs.

Varis is out as the other choices are a greater value.

I have GT4 front aero and canards.

Currently at 3400 pounds with fuel.

I run 285/30-18 R6 F, 295/30-18 R6 R. I may go up 10mm each at some point.

Spring rates are 768 pounds F, 900 pounds R on AST 5200.

Have you considered Brooks Composites? They seem to develop aero for a lot of BMWs.

I saw those too. But I was trying to keep it all under $1700 All in.

But I got a APR GT250 67" ordered this morning. I wonder what the AOA is people are setting these at

Sweet! Post up a review if you don't mind.

I have mine at 10 degrees AOA but started at level and tested from there.

I'll try! This is my first foray into aero. So I'm not sure what I'll be able to share.

I think this is a good choice. Nice fit and finish. I would start with 5 degree aoa and adjust from there........hopefully you can go to 0 aoa.

Edit: I see you also have the canards. You will have to see but may need a little angle to balance the front. Good luck.

MasterP · 07-31-2014, 10:26 AM

How would you know if you need more or less aoa?

I've heard a lot of good things about the bimmerworld wing

I have the bimmerworld v1. It is "race" quality with regards to fit and finish. I also tried the APR GTC300 (3D wing) for 6 months. APR has a much better looking product. I am switching back to the v1.

I'd also like to see pics of this once mounted. Do you have pics of your car with the current wheel/tire setup?
