I think the eram kit is the best albeit more expensive replacement. I'm so happy to have a GT2 styled deck but if I was running the hydraulics I'd have his kit for sure!

Any options for the fixed Aerokit wing to get it higher off the deck lid.

thanks for the plug BLK, getting the wing up higher in cleaner air is the name of the game. Exactly why the cabriolet wing extend another inch. This past summer I put on a toth 2 piece splitter, that combined with 4" eRams really made a difference during DE time at Mid Ohio and other tracks. In fact, getting the stock wing up to 4" puts it at roughly the same height as a GT3 or GT4 wing.

anyone know what bag of bolts I need?

Theres always this option too : http://www.ebwerks.com/models-996997.html

Give you time to rebuild or consider Dave's kit and get to play with different extension without hacking your hydraulic set up.
Im using it like looking at different frames for one picture as I got a different carbon wing so I get to play a little

But that's not downforce - it's drag. We have to consider the Bernoulli effect. The faster the airspeed, the more negative lift there is on the inverted turbo wing. Turbulence just in front of the wing messes up this effect.
