Default Bros Wing

Just saw this in the group buy section -

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/922...ned-for-s2000/

Thoughts? I'm pretty dumb when it comes to aero, so I was just going to get what seems popular (GTC-300). Pretty good price on this though.

GTC-200 and the Voltex wings are the really common ones.

I only know of 2 GTC-300 users


In terms of functionality, there's no question that the Bros wing will work. What's difficult to judge is the efficiency compared to the others out there (Voltex, Aeromotions, APR, etc.)

That bracket will totally destroy your trunklid at speed.

It cost as much as the apr which has allready proven it's self as a good wing. I was expecting the bros wing to be much cheaper

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I'll probably end up with the APR GTC-200

I thought that's what they were designed to stop? From the thread about the wing, they have been saying that there are braces to contour to both the outside AND inside of the trunk surface...

Unless there's a massive X-brace on the underside (which I doubt otherwise they'd picture it), simple and effective underside bracing will be difficult. There's trunk bracing inherent to the lid, but it's strongest at the edges where it's double seamed.

if you will run the wing near the roof line, in clean air, stay away from the APR wing. its designed to be mounted and be most efficient near the trunk. for clean air efficiency use simpler, flatter wings.

for clean air aero the BROS wing doenst look that bad but untested its def not worth 1300

You wont see a professional team(grand am and WC)run an APR type of element and mount it near the roof line.
