Rennkit and don't look back. I wasted a lot of valuable time trying to get the stock system to work, such a waste. I have had my Kit for several years and it works flawlessly.

Made my own kit. bought linear actuators from eBay for $60, designed my own clamps, adaptors, flanges and 3D print them with carbon fiber filament. Been on my car for 5 months and works flawlessly. The best part only cost me $300 for parts and my design time.

Looks similar to Rennkit and DH-Automotive. Both were the inpirations. No need to compete. Just for my own personal usage to save some bucks to rebuild my unit. So far the carbon fiber holds up the engine heat very well.

They are independent of each other.

What is exact proper full height of spoiler extended? My spoiler seems to be operating properly but Im getting error code on the dash and PIWIS. The microswitches are seem to be working properly. My guess is that it is not expending 100% so sensor that is supposed to register at full height is not being trigered.
