DGRacing said:The current 302r uses this Steeda wing so it's definitely top notch.
DGRacing said:I use an APR carbon fiber wing. It's taller than the steeda wing but smaller than the tiger g-stream wing and 1/3 the price.

Also, here is an APR downforce analysis:

LindsayEOD said:Thanks guys for the responses. I like that APR wing but I dont think I'm that committed to making a race car just yet. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the KB Boss Plus or the Steeda, unless there is another similar that I dont know of. I think if I do the Steeda it will be the one made for the 10+. It just seems easier and I dont care if it looks like a 302R.
I emailed Steeda asking for any downforce data they have and if I will have to drill holes This is the response I got: "The holes do not match and when we removed the Boss wing some paint came with it! They must have had some adhesive on the pedestals.." I have usually had good luck with Steeda customer service but this was a pretty much worthless response.
I had a friend who just ordered the Boss Plus KB wing ask if they have any data on theirs and they dont. Apparently Paul was in the process of compiling it for them when he passed. So no data on that one either.
Darren, thanks for that link to the GTC-200 Data. I had no idea that wing would give so much downforce.

Good to $know$. Might be interested in going this route versus "all-in" on the 302S wing. Is the smaller wing on the 302R used simply due to class restrictions? If it works on the R and they're winning races, is there really that much benefit to something bigger?ArizonaGT said:The stock trunk will not be affected with that APR wing. We have a couple guys out here that mount it directly to the trunk metal, and one that reinforced the mounting holes with a thin strip of steel on each side, but no "trunk cage" etc.
Remember you'll have four holes you'll need to plug. The Tiger Racing intermediate spoiler might be a better alternative for a mostly track driven car and is a direct bolt on.PeteInCT said:

You've got a little time. I need to get the wife back into the "mods" frame of mind........I think she likes winter without all the tire bills. Maybe after HER vacation in CA :-\PeteInCT said:PS: I gotta get one of these before Gary....
ArizonaGT said:I'm sure the guys running the 302Rs would like more wing, but that's all grand-am will allow them. Supposedly when the 500C came out the car was very aero-loose and the steeda wing was permitted, same situation with the 302Rs; they ran without them for a while but petitioned that it was needed for safety at the speeds seen on many tracks.
Grand Am GS is supposed to be run with stock aero / no additional aero.

Grant 302 said:I thought it would fit the holes on the 05-09 spoiler, but that we'd need new holes on the '10+ cars.
I've been looking at this and the Steeda wing, and I've been leaning toward the APR. Just want to locate a used trunklid first.
