This static fitment can be upgraded to active as well using our external R.Module.

We've also built the active front splitter that you are referring to. We did extensive CFD testing on it, then took it to the WindShear 180mph rolling road wind tunnel where the Nissan Delta Wing was tested. We have some info on it here: http://aeromotions.com/project-cars/...hallenge-aero/

We do implement a Drag Reduction System (DRS) like F1, so that there isn't much of a drag penalty.

One thing to note on our BRZ testing: our airfoil is very unique (even though it looks very basic), and implements a concave pressure recovery system which seems to have a huge benefit with the BRZ shape (the window rake + factory deckled specifically). In static mode, we only need 2 degrees of angle of attack (AoA) to achieve perfect balance. And because of our low drag shape and only needing 2 degrees of AoA, there isn't much of a drag/speed penalty.
The factory BRZ Limited wing is supposed to reduce the C/D by. 01, so would you recommend retaining the OEM spoiler with your R Static wing?
