Didn't know you were really looking for a wing, Jason.

 

What about getting a center mount wing, like Voltex? And utilizing the CR trunk reinforcement?

 

I wish I could afford the Voltex. They have a wing that goes directly to the holes for the CR wing, However retail on it is $1800 I think.

 

I've been eyeing the CR wing for awhile to go with the CR lip. Would really help on track to keep the rear end planted. At high speeds it starts to feel really light in the rear end. Boost is fun and leads to buying other parts.

 

I need to buy a wing soon...so many options

 

Kognition

I am not aware of another wing on the market that is made to the standard of the Kognition:

http://www.kognitiondesign.com/howwemake.html

All the downforce goes straight to the chassis and not absorbed by flexing, bending and moving the trunk lid.

 

So... the Kognition requires you to mount it into the frame?

 

The Kognition wing has two sets of uprights.

One set mounts to the bottom of the flat places of the trunk floor on either side of the center hole. A plate welded to the bottom of the upright bolts over the frame member directly under that area of the trunk. There are 6 bolts securing each plate, 3 on either side of the frame member underneath. This set of uprights then extend through and about 3" above the trunk lid.
The second set of uprights then use 4 bolts each to secure to the lower uprights just above the trunk lid and there you have it.

Super strong and secure, there is no give. If you grab the upper uprights and pull or push as hard as you can you will move the car and/or the suspension.

Mike the owner of Kognition stands on the enter of the wing mounted on the car. He is 200+ lbs.

 

Ah gotcha. Helps when I can visual the actual mounting.

As for standing on the wing... it's a marketing gimmick. The wings are capable of more downforce than 200 lbs... That being said, I'm sure the kognition can support far more than 200 lbs. Probably at least 5x more.

Are you using a kognition? I've yet to see one in person that's mounted the way you describe.

 

I have a GTC-200 wing with the standard mounts. I ran 4 track days with it so far - the first 2 were without the supports and the next 2 were with supports. I had quite a bit of trunk deformation from the first track weekend with it, but I went out without checking the AOA and it was set in a really aggressive position from the previous owner (> 8 degrees and understeered like a pig) and I think that's the underlying cause of the deformation. I'm now running it at 1.5 degrees and haven't had any problems since, albeit with the CR supports. The trunk and springs compress more the faster you drive, so perhaps the AOA would be closer to 0 degrees at speeds in excess of 80 MPH. BTW, I really like how the wing changed the handling of the car and the ability to adjust the AOA is really nice vs. a non-adjustable CR wing.
