Trim out the wing, as others have said, or remove it for the daily trips, and install on weekends, etc. You might be able to use pip pins, I'm not familiar with the wing mount design.

I never understood why people put wings on these cars while NA.

Or even FI if they never ever see a track. For that matter even if they do see a track but have not yet reached a skill level where they can actually use it. I bet the number of cars/drivers that can actually use the wing to advantage is well under 1% of the ones with one installed.

Because it looks ridiculously good while sitting in a parking lot, talking about the best way to get -20* camber

Further depleting the power is just stupid. There cars are not GT3's.

Here , large wings are illegal on the street , unless they are under an engineers certificate of compliance.
So some people remove them for street use and reinstall them for track days.
It would be good if someone could make a quick release wing that can be quickly removed and reinstalled.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Add weight, drag and power. That probably wont help your mileage much.

With tires that are stretched beyond belief.

Sounds like a market for a trunk lid replacement that has a powered wing.

Check out the SARD LSR style wing. I think it looks pretty nice, is functional, and clamps on to the edge of the trunk so you can put it on and take it off fairly easily and you won't even be able to tell it was ever there.

The OE wings are just fine ........ they serve a purpose ...... they make a good handle by which to lift the trunk lid.

I have the BRZ's 2017 variant, the same one the 860 has. It's raised up a bit but it's not extreme like some of the wings out there.

Don't get me started on wing vs spoiler...

Also, nice license plate.
