I've decided that I need to get a rear wing for my car. Having the street serpent package which uses the original competition coupe front end and fenders I've noticed at high speeds the rear end is getting "squirrley". I've been told that it is due to having much more downforce on the front due to the lower and longer nose now on the car and having no rear wing to balance it. What I'd like to get is an ACR wing for the car. I'm doing this for function and not looks, however I do not want a wing that extends past the rear quarters like some of the aftermarket wings I've seen. Here are some links to some Competition Coupes with the wing I'd like to get.

Check out, APR Performance on the internet. I got my GTC-500 Adjustable Wing and my front-end splitter through them, both CF. They are out in Walnut, CA call Tony at 909-594-3796. I'm very happy with both, and they do resemble the ACR wing very closely.

What shocks and what size tires/wheels do you have on your Serpent? I have moton's on my 5 spokes with PS2's and it feels ROCK solid at triple digit speeds (on a closed, private track of course ;))

I have Moton's as well and 20's all around. However, I'm quite sure that the aerodynamic qualities between the coupe and vert are drastic.

I would be willing to bet that this is all a set up problem. Do you know the exact specs of your car? front and rear ride heights? alignment, shock pressure and settings?

Mark, glad you chimed in as I was going to recommend that he call you to discuss as well. Rake might also be something to look at as it appears from some of the pics that Aries has posted that there is little or no rake with his 20" front/rear tire combo.

Sadly Mark, I do not. I would love to get an idea or range of where the set-up should be.
