Kadean-dev Carbon GT Wing Review (J's Racing Type 1 Replica)
Thought I share this wing with you guys, since I haven't seen a topic about this wing or the company who produces them.
So. I purchased a J's Racing replica wing from a company called Kadean-dev. I'm not really the guy who buys replica parts (until now ) but the quality looked great on the pictures and it was half the price of a real one. About 800 US dollars including shipping. So I thought, why not give it a try?
The overall quality looks good. The carbon weave looks pretty much the same as the carbon weave of my authentic J's Racing trunk and the wingstands look great aswell. The mounting plates on the other hand look a bit rough around the edges, but they can look a lot better if you just sand them down and repaint them. So I still like to do that in the future. The sideflaps are a slighty different shape. Less sharper corners in comparison to the real deal and the carbon weave goes vertical instead of diagonal, but still, they look alright. The wingstands feel really solid. No movement whatsoever when I touch the wing. You also get loads of differents screws and bolts which you can choose from.
I have to say, I'm very happy with this wing. The quality is good. It doesn't cost a lot and it functions "perfect".
Features:
High Gloss Finish
UV Protection
3K Twill Carbon Material
1600mm wide
215mm or 295mm wingstand

Bit of a stretch to claim a aero part functions perfect without proof. Especially without even taking it to track I assume.

If it's an exact replica of the J's wing (rebranded Voltex Type 2), then it will work. The J's and Voltex produce a lot of downforce. I don't think the air will know the difference between authentic or a replica...

So for you a replica wing is almost 3 times cheaper, what we have to pay for a real one.
I had to pay another 240 dollars of tax when this wing got at customs.
Still for our standards, it is quite a good price.
Ok you are right, I probably can't say it functions a 100% perfect, but what I do have noticed this last week is a significant amount of stability through mid and high speed corners. Also I can definetly feel the rear getting pushed down to the road and in a result I noticed some more understeer. But I hope to compensate that with some J's Canards, a difusser and some suspension changes. Soon I will test it some more on the Nurnburgring.

Tnx for your recommendation and I'm glad to hear you also like your wing!
