New small wing option (or first time I've seen it at least), LINK.

FRP instead of carbon, no brand given.

roastbeef · 01-18-2017, 10:03 PM

I picked up a used aeroflow diffuser. It will be going on when I put on my carbon drive shaft.

Been an option with mode carbon for a while now.

NASCAR run spoilers so was thinking good enough.

The E90 CRT high kick spoiler looks promising for its purpose. I always thought the Turner Motorsport Grand Am wing on their E92 M3 race car looked decent and functional, too (although for the coupe and not sedan).

Never noticed but turner redid the rear bumper to fit single tips??

Looks like they just cut out the sides to fit the exhaust around their fuel cell.

x2 that actually is the Mode Carbon one, not sure why the brand isnt listed there but ECS just recently became a dealer for them.

This car is no E46. I don't get much understeer, but have had the tail slide out on me a few times.

roastbeef · 02-21-2017, 10:11 PM

I wanted to get this just not sure if it will clear the chambers on my AA exhaust

roastbeef · 02-21-2017, 10:54 PM

i ended up picking up a used aeroflow dynamics rear diffuser. i had concerns of it not clearing a specific part of my exhaust near the differential, but i propped it up and it seemed to clear ok. i haven't put it on yet because i need to take off my metak diffuser so the rear end doesn't look so busy.

I havent seen any aeroflow diffusers that i like because they all look the same and are so thin.. wanna see this one you got. off the car would be great to see what the entire thing looks like please?

do these mount under the axle? As in, making it functional?

roastbeef · 02-22-2017, 03:16 PM

It extends to the rear diff and behind the rear wheels.

theautoculture · 02-27-2017, 09:00 PM

What's the true difference with a GT4/GTS style wing VS a APR GT250 wing? For most US tracks? Huge difference? Help! Plz and thank you.

roastbeef · 02-27-2017, 09:20 PM

someone with more experience will chime in, but a larger wing will create more downforce. the apr's are more aggressive than the gts'. its also generalized that the larger apr wing with less attack (less drag) makes the same/more downforce than the smaller wing with more attack (more drag). you also have to match it with an appropriate front splitter or your risk ruining the drivability of your car.

roastbeef · 03-18-2017, 11:14 PM

has anyone mounted a wing on a carbon trunk? if so, do you guys use over-sized washers to help distribute the load?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
