Aero

So I've pretty much gotten my arrow almost down (canards, front splitter, side skirts, jdm underpanels, rear diff)

My rear definitely feels a bit loose at high speeds, and braking makes it whip out pretty hard as well.

Now I'm contemplating on getting a wing to really calm the rear down. I'm considering the voltex 1s, and the apr gt250. I know the voltex is way more expensive than the gt250 and I hear mixed reviews from both the 1s and the gt250.

Thoughts anyone? If you're a vendor please don't be biased I really would like to get a bang for my buck quality wing.

Originally, I wanted this car to be for drifting but the oversteer is way too intense and makes it hard to connect.

Are you sure it's aero loose, and not a suspension issue?

I thought about that as well, since I do have some wheel gap if you're talking about center of gravity. (I didn't think ride height affected down force but more as supporting the aero)

When you say suspension issue, are we talking about sways? I'm still on stock sways and kw3 coilovers.

By suspension, I meant springs, ARB's (anti-roll bars), alignment.

Yes, proper suspension alignment, springs are properly setup, I have stock swaybars.

You need a BigCountryLabs wing. Trust me.

Have u tried adjusting your dampers to compensate for the increase in downforce?

It could also be the offset of downforce. He seems to have quite a bit in the front and middle of the car.

That is what I'm thinking. To be honest the original post is asking namely for which wing should I go with.

Sounds like wholesale changes were made instead of one thing at a time, so now tuning/dialing all this stuff in at once is gonna be a PITA.

I would like to know your full setup in detail and where you do your driving.
Aero is usually one of the last things people "tune" on their cars.
