Did anyone ever get wind tunnel and downforce data comparing all these options?

A few people here wanting to replace cup uprights? Why? What is wrong with the cup uprights?

Probably just aesthetics. To me cup risers always look real cheap, likely cut on a plasma table from a flat sheet of alum, while the OEM and alike have softer edges and look much more premium and proper for the car.

I think I found the answer to my original question. Looks like custom risers made by HKFever over on 6speed

I'd be curious to lean how these affect the dynamics. Currently my stock rise RS wing with a 2" gurney really plants the rear while allowing the front to bite. I'd like to try no gurney flap and a higher wing to see what it does.

I've reached out to Charles Salter on reproducing some uprights for the 997 GT3.
Anyone interested in a group buy?
He's checking with what make sense to him to the quantity and the cost.

Elliott, it looks like you already have these???
