Need part number for GT2 Wing shims

Does anyone have any shims for the factory GT2 wing?

I'm looking for the 8 degree or the largest angle of attack shim available.
Part numbers would be helpful as well.

Thanks guys!

For the GT2 wing I taught it was adjusted with the hinge mechanism and the GT3 wing used the angled shims. Have you adjusted the angle already and need more?

Anything below factory adjustment will cause more drag. I would try the wicker add on lip. GMG sells them.

I took some time last night to work on the GT2 wing.

Page was correct, the factory wing has a 17mm bolt on each upright that when loosened, allows the wing to be adjusted. No shims needed.


I set the wing on the maximum angle and the car feels more stable at 125mph than it did with the wing at the neutral setting.

Cool, nice test and tune..
Do you have any suspension work done to the car. If not there's quite a bit of nice pieces I'd consider adding to your car to make it more stable. Especially on the GT2 putting out some nice numbers to the wheels.

Stock suspension still.

I'm getting the alignment and corner balancing done first. Then a couple of track days to learn how to handle the car.

After that I will start working on the suspension.

Some of the DE instructors are a little reluctant to ride in the car with a newby driving
