RSR Wing on a GT3?
Hey Folks,
What's the general opinion on the installation of an Porsche OEM RSR wing on a a 996 GT3? My concern is that the downforce created could lighten the front. I've been told that the whole car will be more planted, but I'm unsure.
Any thoughts?

You need to at minimum get the cup car lip on the front to help balance it. Or if you want to really get it sucked to the ground there is a CF larger front lip available. It was used for a few years on ALMS cars.
I know where you can get both if you are interested. PM me.

I don't know the characteristics of the RSR wing. But, I've seen cup car data and they are very heavy on the rear downforce (much more so than street GT3s). I don't think you'll be able to proportionally add as much downforce on the front as on the rear, but if the cup is any indication, this is OK.
007DT's info is spot on I think. Do a cup front lip or something bigger. Since grand am could do something bigger within the rules, they did, so you can follow them.
My only question is why RSR and not a cup rear wing?

Here is the CF Front Splitter recommended for an RSR Wing. Even with a cup wing you'd have to put some serious shims on it to balance out the downforce. It is laying under my old Koni Car, but you can see that it is designed to lay over the front. Definitely not for street use.

I think that answers the question for me Dave. Thanks again.
BTW - I'm looking at the RSR wing, because I want a OEM wing for the GT3 and there's a used one available right now. I've been looking for an RS wing for months but seem to keep missing out on them when they come up.

Have you determined that the combination of 8deg shims on the OE wing + cup splitter are not providing sufficient stability in high speed corners?
