To wing or not to wing

What suspension and spring rates do you run?

RCE T2’s in 7kg springs.

Correct. However it depends on how much downforce you have dialed in. Too much to where at low speeds it's noticeable then it's most likely compromising speed in the straights so you need to find that balance. Plus as discussed, less planted in slower corners is faster

Positive rake a lower speeds, neutral or slightly neg at high speeds.

Spring Rates, Wing, AOA of Wing etc etc all play into effect when trying to properly setup a car to be balanced at all speeds possible.

Can you bolt on a wing and be faster? Sure maybe. Can you maximize the impact it can offer? No

Me too. Do you think 8k or 9k would be enough to compensate the aero?

I dunno. It’s going to depend on your setup. I am trying 10kg based on what others are running but may try some different rates down the road.
