i think it'll do the job, but the way gt wings designed seems generate more downforce then the varis one.
itz not necessarry to be honest, but since most of weight saving on my car is on the rear, i would like some more downforce on the rear too.

I'm not sure if the INGS+1 wing is adjustbile (I think it is, but I need more close up shots). I can tell you that the wings on the high support are going to provide a lot more donwforce, because they will be in a stream of air which isn't disturbed by the car's body, but it'll also generate a lot more drag (thin parachute). All it means is that your car will be faster through the conners, but slower when it comes to acceleration and top speed, compromise. Also if you put such a big wing at the rear you might have to generate more downforce are the front. Which would mean modifiing the amuse bumper.
here is some close up for the ings gt wings, fromt the pics, i think itz also adjustble.right?
and there are several holes drilled on the wing support, some is on the bottom of the wing support, some is on the top that connect to the wing.so r u saying both the height of the weing and the angle of the wing is adjustalbe?

I've got the APR GTC-300 350Z Spec. The quality is top notch. The wing is extremely light. It's not for everyone, but I love it.

Apparently they just mounted one for the Axis road race/drift car. Here's some pretty cool pics of it.

No, the height is not adjustable with the base stands they give you. I'm sure you could have a stand custom made.
The only part that's adjustable is the angle of the wing.

I do not have the carbon hatch.........Maybe someday.

Like theackattk have mentioned the wing angle is adjustible. As for the difference between dry and wet carbon, dry carbon is lighter but a lot more expensive.

I've translated the ings webpage and it says that the wings angle is adjustbile, 15 positions. The dry carbon wing (1.6m one) weights 2.6kg and the wet carbon is 3.5kg. The brackets are made from dry carbon Below is the translation:

It is born with the circuit, forges 抜かれた the aerodynamic technology of ings feedback した is Z-power WING.
Optimum down fourth beauty of the occurrence する forum of course, weight and the finish, in durability, quality and the say street car it clears 求められる theme at high level.

THe INGS +! low mount carbon finber wing is the the best GT wing IMO. It's looks really nice. The JUN 350z (the one that crashed) had it. Do a google search for JUN 350z, and you will find some great pics. Good luck.

all i want is lowest drag , as much downforce as i can get, and light!
thanks for the suggestion though.

You cannot have a low drag and high downfroce. the more you increase the downforce, the higher the drag is going to be.

i know, sorry for my bad english .
what i mean is highest downforce i can get fem the gt wing, and the gt wing also minimize the extra drag it create(compare to other gt wing).
does this sounds more clear?

If you don't care about looks, go for the APR wing, it's dry carbon (light) and it's cheap. But I would assume that INGS has done some testing in a wind tunnel, because of the price and it was used on JUN Z. So it might be what you are looking for.
