Down Force
Is there a table that list the down force for each aero kit - aero 1 -2-3 for the and Z51, GS and Z06? Maybe the Z07 aero as well. Also with the rear down force is there a wear issue on the tires front or rear. Lastly at what speeds do the down force dynamics come into play?

I think it's in an "Ask Tadge" archive you can Google. The aero numbers GM advertised were at 150mph as I recall.
The aero on my car starts to work around 60mph and I can see it in my ride height data. It actually starts to influence at ~90mph. It's significant at 150mph. No I do not have stock aero.
What problem are you trying to solve? You're not going to worry about tire wear until you're running sustained speeds in excess of 180mph for a few hours.
Z07 Stage 3 aero is no different than the Z06 Stage 3 aero.
