Jon7. I'm not sure of your track background or experience but I'm guessing that you are relatively new to tracking your car??? Anyways, it may be beneficial to you to track your car a few times on a set of proven street tires such as Bridgestone REO1's or Advan A048's instead of going to an R-comp right off the bat. IMO street tires can easily exploit your flaws as a driver and provide feedback as to what you need to do to become a better driver and what mods you may want to purchase to aid in your progression. Also, I would say that a moderate suspension package would be a better buy for someone who just does track days. Again, IDK but you may not even be at speeds where aero would be most effective for you. IDK?

Just my thoughts.. I was once in the same situation as you are. Good luck though...

To your original post, I have a GTC-200 and it does provide additional down force that has helped me keep my rear from sliding out (get a good alignment too). I just can't see how the CR rear aero does a lot for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if the CR made it into the wind tunnel. It's really not expensive for a company with a long-term relationship with a provider of testing, or Honda may even have their own tunnel.

C-west put their kit in a tunnel.
