ACR or ACR E wing height

[Mihai]

Can anyone please measure how high the front lid of the wing seats in relation to the trunk ? Street setting if that is an issue.

Thanks !

I got 9-1/4” on my ACR-E but it’s not an easy measurement to be precise. Could be 9-3/8” but definitely not 9-1/2”. It’s set on the standard #2 position.

What do you want to know for?

I'm are doing a ACR "looks" setup on a budget . I'll be back with more pics !

Be careful here as the angle of attack for the wing is going to be the most important aspect of how it sits.

If you are just measuring to get the entire assembly somewhere close to where the OEM wing sits, then that is fine as long as you take care with the angle of the assembly once you choose the height for the supports (and then a better question might be how tall the stanchion supports are at front and back).

that depends on the curb of the wing, I agree. We are just taking an already tested wing that is 185cm long and just make custom stands and end caps similar to the ACR ones. Also we must modify the wing to keep the distance between the stands on the factory location on the trunk and made a custom laser cut plate to fit in the location inside the trunk.
So as long as we keep the angle mounts of the wing we should be ok.
Other question right now....can someone measure these ? Red, white, green and blue line ? Thanks again for your trouble

whatever height that perfectly makes the rearview mirror useless

Which brand of wing are you going to use?

Is it for looks or going on a track car? If that latter this would be really badass- https://aeromotions.com/product-category/chevrolet/
It doesn't look as good as the factory wing, but you'll be 10mph+ faster on longer straights, plus greatly decrease your braking distance.

Aston is on their game right now. While many MFG's seem to be stuck in design stagnation (what is going on at BMW??? And, beyond the entire lineup looking the same for the last 10 years, what is up with that horrific looking X4???), Aston (and McLaren) seem to be killing it lately.

ACR-E wing
Red=13-3/4”
Blue=15-3/4”
Green=10-3/8”
White=8” or so depending on exactly where you measure

man, you are gold ! thanks !

Almost done with the wing project, will post some pics soon after painting.
Does somebody knows if the acr uses different gas strut for the trunk because of the wing weight ? Also different pop up actuators ?

Yes they do use a different strut, the non-acr strut wont hold the hatch up at all.
And good question about the pop up actuators, that might be the issue I've had with my hatch sticking recently. I'll look into this in the next few days.

[ViperSRT]

I believe all with a wing have the same struts and pop ups, unique from non winged cars.

[Mihai]

Thanks guys ! Part numbers would be great !

Still looking for the struts

So did you confirm the ACR pop ups are indeed different?

Here's the part number right off the struts on my ACR:

It was hard taking that pic huh? LOL. I had to force a flash to get it to focus

Just with my iPad. No flash but very bright garage.

Mihai are you aware ACR have a reinforced hatch to manage the downforce? If your wing applies downforce similar to the ACR that may be an issue.

We are making a watercut aluminium backplate for the trunk. I've seen several ACR wing mounted on the GTS / SRT Vipers with a similar backplate setup, everything hold up fine. I think my wing is smaller than the ACR one, same lenght but not so wide.
Also I red Arizona Vipers post:

and I'm a little confused where did he squezed the epoxy

Also, the acr rear springs are on the way
