New product from verus-engineering for the FL5. These change the angle of attack on the OEM wing to increase downforce. I have a set on the way and a track day on Thursday so I will post my feedback after that, but I'm pretty excited for these.

Cool product. Thanks for sharing!

Verus makes insanely great stuff

For real. I have their full kit on my sti and it’s insane how efficient their stuff is. The quality and functionality is top tier!

That data is for their stage 1 full kit, including the front canards

Does versus make te front dive planes canards for 2025 FL5? I did not see them in their online catalogue. I suspect they are required to balance out the increased AOA from wing kit..

The dive planes are coming out very soon so stay tuned. I’m not sure how needed they are to balance the increase angle of the wing. I have my AOA set coming Tuesday and my dive planes shortly after. Track day is Thursday so I’ll for sure have my AOA installed, but might not get my dive planes in time. I’ll share my feedback after that. I’m mainly waiting for the UCW wing to come out but we are still a couple months away for that I believe.

thank you. Please post about it. Maybe the canards plus the front splitter would be required. Mostly ( at least on my 911 RSR race car ) the canards are functioning more like vortex generators than overt front downforce generators..

Yea I feel the front splitter would do more for the front keeping it down. The canards seem to be more vortex generators. Verus did say that the dive planes + AOA would give 150lbs of downforce at 120mph

I have tested angle adjustment using the OEM wing in combination with the JAS Motorsports wing stands, and it does make a difference at speeds above 100 mph. At my local track, Turn 1 is about 115 to 120 mph at the apex, followed by hard braking into Turn 2. With the increased angle, the rear has become much more stable. Previously, it would shimmy a lot in the rear.

Thanks. Good to know. Rear shimmy on track tends to lessen " send it" mode....

I tested a pre-production set on my FL5 with the Access-style wing, and I liked it. I’m not tracking my car, so I went with the zero degrees kit as I like seeing a flat profile.

3 years and they come out with a door wedge is pretty pathetic

Their shop car got hit in the parking lot by a delivery truck and has been away getting repairs. Also they make parts for all different platforms. Don’t rush greatness the fl5 aero will come in time from verus engineering

if you look at the pdf packet on their site you can see a front splitter, side splitters, dive planes, and a full replacement wing
