High wing

If you change the rear wing from standard Z51 to high wing option, don’t you have to make other aero adjustments to the front to maintain the balance?

This has already been answered a few times, but: no, you don't. The high wing doesn't offer any more down force than the standard Z51 spoiler does. It just does so with less drag.

It actually does provide more downforce accirding to Harlan Charles, but probably just a small amount.
