On a serious note, congrats yet again Nate. Btw, maybe i missed it, and i cant tell by your pics, but did you remove the splitter also? Im no aero expert, but wont a wing like that be counterproductive without a splitter, or something to balance out your front end? I imagine that Kognition wing creates more downforce compared to the OEM wing.

Front splitter is gone. I ran w/o it last event using the APR wing; and ran w/o it this event using the Kognition wing too. I just don't have all the pts needed to run that flimsy APR splitter in TTA; let alone a proper one.
There's plenty of examples of other cars out there with a big rear wing and no additional front downforce. So I'm giving this a shot and we're planning on re-aligning the car to take advantage of this setup. Will it work; we'll see!
Since I had the APR adjuster break at my first event; I've actually carried the stock wing to my last 3 events! Just in case! I'd like to put it back on and see how much the rear loosens back up. I think that'll be a test for the next time out!
I'm sure this Kognition wing, or any rear wing for that matter, is limiting my topend. I know they ALL contribute significantly under braking... you can feel that for sure!

I use econolite composite panels for splitter material. Cost is inexpensive $90 for 4x8 sheet. Holds up well using (4) APR splitter hardware sets. The splitter depth will make substantial front downforce changes.

And if you have a IX; our bumper isn't level... So it ends up looking like mine does; which probably isn't ideal. So I decided to try another route for pts. I might come back to this though...

Well done! Gingerman is an hour from where I used to live but never got out there. That will change when I move back.
How do you like the AST's? Our shop sells a lot of them and does our own in-house valving. Ive been debating throwing a set on my evo but Im saving my pennies first. We'll be at a few events along the eastcoast this summer. Ill come check out the car if you happen to be there too.

Anyways; yeah I really like the AST's. I have the singles and honestly I have not even touched them! No ride height or rebound changes since they've been installed. I just haven't needed to. That tells you something about their off-the-shelf valving right there.
They definitely offer more droop travel; which is something our cars need when running sticky tires. If the tread isn't on the ground; you aren't putting the power down!
