I wondered about that too - Manthey obviously spent some time working on the design of their wing and balancing the rear downforce at the front of the car, hence why they wont sell their wing w/o the
cup front splitter.

IMO and its just an opinion - having an imbalance in downforce at high speed is not a good thing ... especially on track ... an additional 70+ d/f over the rear wheels at speed is relatively significant ... it should be ok for street driving though
where speeds and d/f are lower.

I will pass... YMMV

on the MR side, having had a couple of pints with them when they came to setup a couple of cars.
the 991.1 will take the wing, but they do not sell a lip for it, they do recommend the RS lip and canards. Their main concern were the spring rates.
and for the .2, their lip is the cup lip.

i asked them why they didn’t raise the spoiler they gave a simple answer, aesthetic. They want the car to look OEM just bigger. They didn’t say but they also did not not say (wink wink) a 3 to 4” lift on their wing will create more DF and less drag due to a smaller AOA.

I tend to be very skeptical about aero mods particularly if they have not been properly designed and tested ... I think I'll stick with my MR wing at the OEM height ...

apart from anything else I think the exposed bolts and tabs on the OEM wing + the riser isn't very visually attractive

I am not affiliated with verus, but I have installed some of their full aero kits on a couple of cars.
they spend days working on CAD designs and road test their kits with various pro drivers.

just think of one thing, the cup car aero, it has the OEM GT3 shape front bumper, and fenders. The lip and the front tunnels are different, the rest is identical. The rear doesn’t have a diffuser but has that massive wing, which makes so much DF that it needs reinforced mounting plate.

but that being said, the MR wing just looks super class on it’s own.

ps: hey Larry, still haven’t installed the GT4 strakes 😅, will do all the new aero mods at once.

Makes sense, I'll stick with how the kit was designed. There is just no visibility out the rear window when in the high downforce position

Larry Cable

me neither!

Larry Cable

why do you have it set at high DF?

I think it would be ok on street, I would not use it on high speed tracks though

hatallas

the oem one pretty bad but the MR is amazing against trucks tailgating at night 😆

DiscoWagon

Car is rarely driven on the street so I just run it in high DF all the time.

Thanks for sharing the pics. What setup are you running for the front lip and lip side trim pieces? That looks cleaner than most of the cup lip conversions I've seen

Larry Cable

I might be wrong here but it looks very much like the GT3RS splitter and trim to me

I'm wrong - its not.

Anu2g

I believe the 3RS side trim goes all the way up to the side markers

Larry Cable

it does! - I looked again more closely!

I wonder is it the 3RS splitter with the OEM GT3 side trim?
