I have tracked my car both ways. The car is MUCH more stable above 120ish with the 99 wing at full rake and the gtc front bumper, no other changes. My alignment specs are similiar to pettits long track setup.

maybe the gtc bumper helps balance it out? I'm no engineer or pro driver, but I would think as rear downforce increases the front would have a tendency to lift?
