Adding stage 3 aero to Z06 cars
What impact, negative or positive, would there be to handling? Will it bottom out the softer springs and MR calibrations?
Can Z06 owners add just the Stage III wicker bill and not the larger front winglets or the other way around?
Was any testing performed of Stage III aero on the FE6 (non-Z07) suspension?
Thank you Tadge!

This seems to pop up regularly on the Z06 section, so we'll throw it up for vote. Bear in mind that GM is still in their 2-week shutdown, so we're not going to have any question submission of voting yet. The next round of voting starts on the 19th, per the published schedule.
Stand by.

Great question. Im adding the front Level 3 extensions today. I can say I have noticed a huge difference with the rear clear section on the track. Hope the front extensions work as good as the rear.

Work with RS4EVA to come up with the final version of this question and have him edit his original post. If the question wins the vote, that's what gets sent.

Scraping the splitter.
Don't read this forum much, so just saw this...
Since GM is offering the Stage 3 aero upgrade for Stage 2 cars, I'm guessing they feel it's compatible even without the increased spring rates and MRC programming.
Personally, I bought the clear wickerbill a few months ago (a "Z06" embossed one, lol) but don't have the Stage 3 end plates yet. I'm thinking of running the car at Sebring Jan 2-3 and then putting on the Stage 3 parts and running again on Jan 30-31.
