Default Which is the "best" wing to fit 996 Cup decklid/uprights?

Have a beast, 996TT RWD track car. Have already a Techart wing with tall uprights, but the wing itself could be bigger, couldn't it?



I have seen Motorsport wings dont fit the uprights/decklid I have, so I have now found this 996 Cup decklid suitable for Turbo,
https://9lf.de/de/996-turbo/415-albe...l#.V_QE7uB942x

Thinking to buy that, and the tall 996 Cup uprights from here,
http://www.demonspeedmotorsports.com...ight-A-WU6.htm

Then my question, which is the best wing that could fit plug and play with that combination? Looking for something "legal" so not wider than the car. I think 996 Cup wings look today bit outdated with basic design and not huge wing width, so could some sort of the larger, newer 997 Motorsport wings be a plug and play solution with improved performance?

Sorry for the basic question.

The 997.1 wing has the same mounting as the 996 cup, although larger in size.

It would still work with the taller uprights you see on the demonspeed site.

The next step would be the GoodAero wing. They would take special uprights that DemonSpeed makes, but much larger and still meets your "Legal" requirements. Beautiful wing too.

Thanks

If you do you need to balance the car out with a bigger front splitter

And or dive planes. On my 997 I have a big rear wing and the factory front spoiler, but I added our dive planes and it is nicely balanced.

Joe Toth makes a nice front splitter that provides a larger front downforce. I can get those too.

Thanks

The Crawford wing will suit your needs.

There's a GOOD Aero wing on eBay
