So those of you that are installing the larger rear wings, what kind of mods are you doing in the front of the car to keep the car balanced?

Thanks

Bora

If you read the article recently published in GT Porsche about Olaf Manthey it states that although this wing looks like the Porsche OEM RS wing it has a more aggressive plane that adds almost 40kg of down force over the stock item. Along with the below mentioned differences makes my decision a no brainier. Price also includes shipping.

Fits to original components
Adjustable from 30 Min. to 2.5 and 8.5 degree
Increases down force from 30kg to 62kg
Wing wedges (4 or 8 degrees) on request

Bora, the motorsport lip perhaps?

i dont think it is THAT neccessary to change anything up front, since the stock rear wing can be adjusted for more downforce anyway.

I remember reading the Porsche Motorsport contact in Excellence mentioning about the need to compensate for the added downforce with possible front end adjustments.

Probably not noticeable on the street.

I would do the Motorsports chin spoiler to help balance things out.
