GTC-200 wing, smaller wing or no wing at all?

[GrandSport]

So I need to get a new setup on the car. I'm wearing the outsides of V730s in about 5 hours and the insides are at 80%. No idea what happened, but it's both sides and there is a lot of negative camber.

While I'm getting a setup done, I'm debating removing the rear wing entirely or just going to smaller one (if that's possible). I see ARP has deferent side plates, but they dont state how much of a difference they make. If it's a big difference, for $120, I'd start there (they also dont tell us the difference between the old, the new and the euro side plates)

It just pushes too much as it is, and I can't get much, if any, rotation on braking.

As far as running ST5, or similar, what is the general consensus for a wing- if there is one?

What’s the whole setup on the car? My biggest problem adding a splitter and wing(gtc200) was my suspension was no longer up to it.

Did you end up changing your suspension to accommodate it?

It has a small splitter, but I doubt it does anything. It's not low enough.
Suspension is is fine. Stance coilovers.

Yeah, future prof’d it when I did.

What did you end up doing? I ask because I just did the UCW wing and splitter from Verus. I'm running Shaftworks USA coilovers with 6k/9k springs and all spherical bearinigs. I'm hoping that's enough.

What are your rates? Alignment Settings, Swaybars etc. Coilover aside, something seems incredibly wrong on the setup side of things to be having this type of wear.

Sideplates won't change anything drastic what you're looking for. APR is notorious for having wings that produce too much DF for our cars in particular. They're draggy.

Well the dampers themselves should be fine... Worst case its new springs and a revalve.

I would be curious what John says about your setup. 6k/9k is pretty common for non aero builds. But maybe its more slicks and aero that require stiffer springs than just aero alone

I am on Annx CSP’s on 10/12k setup now. I was on older T2’s on a 6k flat setup. I was bottoming the fronts a lot and the car didn’t want to rotate.

Good to know. Thanks everyone.

Looks like my 6k/9k setup needs to go to 8k/9k. Thanks to a couple of key resources for that info.

What is your current complete setup?

Front
-.10* toe (total)
-3.72* Camber
5.71* Caster

Rear
.12 total toe
-3.02 Camber

Stance coilovers (I know... they came with the car, they're honestly not that bad and my track is very smooth so its not a big deal)
gutted/caged/etc
small splitter
V730 tires
and obviously, the wing

[CSG Mike]

Is that rear on both the front and rear or just the front?

Stance coilovers are fantastic, is there a sentiment that they are not?
