I like the Serpent F110 high downforce rear wing. It is light, very durable and offers high downforce. It is similar to the wing included in the Xray and Exotek kit. I have had mine on my car for the last five years with only some scratches on the top. The wing is available in black or white.
Check Serpents homepage for more info. Black version SER411292, White version SER411312.

I was finally able to get back to the track this past weekend and make get some shakedown runs on the car. I think 95% of my steering problem was the front wing dragging. The dragging problem was 2 fold, first the car had a stupid amount of rake in it and I didn't realize it, second the protoform wing on the front was bent down. I got the chassis level at 4.2mm, but the rear of the pod I could only get to 5mm. That was using the #1 pill with the 1 down, if I put the #2 pill in, the pod was at 3.8mm(this is on sweep tires). I put turnbuckles on the front wing to try and pull it up, but I think it's too far gone. It helped for a little while(enough for me to notice the difference),but it was dragging again after a few laps. I put the kit wing back on and it drove much better and was not dragging. I'm still looking for a touch more steering though, would the rear of the pod being at 5mm be causing me to lose some steering? Or should I be looking elsewhere?

Part Request
Hi Mike,
I have a request from the guys that run at 702 Raceway, which is high grip indoor carpet large track. They are having an issue where there is alot of chassis flex in the front suspension and they need a different designed part for the front end. That would be something like this which has two versions of the part, one that 1mm thick and the other that is 2mm thick. Also at least have the width of the part go about 10mm.

Hi Phillip,
Yes that would be an easy part for sure and as John mentioned there was a carpet chassis option too;

Made some progress with my car this past Saturday. I thought I had my rear track width at 188, turns out it was at 184.
Changed it to 190 and the car was much improved. I also put a new front wing on and gained mid/off steering I was lacking due to the wing dragging. With all that sorted out, I was finally able to make some meaningful suspension changes and actually feel the difference. It's still not perfect, but did get TQ and was the first to get a 9.5 on our our track in F1, my buddy did get a slightly faster 9.5 after me though. I feel it could still use a little more steering, but I think I may just leave it alone for now as our track is gonna change layouts soon. Thanks to everyone here for all their help.
