Looking for a good spoiler/wing

Next year I'll be moving to Germany (USAF) and I'll of course be taking my Boss with me. I'm thinking about getting a better spoiler/wing to keep the rear end down while I'm on the autobahn (and possibly the 'Ring)




Also, where can I buy Boss 302S parts? Hood, radiator, ect.


Thanks!

The LS wing is a good option that has been tested by Ford to provide additional downforce. If you're going with the 302S hood from Tiger Racing you should also look at their new intermediate wing that splits the difference between the LS and G-Stream wings. Here's a photo of the prototype.

I'm a fan of the Tiger Racing hood and the LS spoiler.
But I will probably opt for the RTR spoiler. Still to early to decide. Got about 18 months to think about it.

I've got 6 months, because I want the hood and wing painted and on the car during my mid tour in Oct.

Why do you need more downforce in the rear??? What are you doing and what are the results?

The rear end feels loose around 140+ especially compared to the German cars. So I would too if I lived anywhere near the autobahn

Steeda has a rear functional wing that will go well with the Boss.

That has never been my experience nor have I ever seen it reported. Granted I do have a LS......

Better question: Does anyone know if there is a comparison available that shows the downforce supplied by different spoilers?

I too had noticed the rear-end looseness at speed. I installed the Gt500 wing (before Ford came to the same conclusion I did and made that wing standard on the 2013 Boss lol), and have been happy with it ever since. To me, the car feels well balanced aero-wise now, and the high speed rear"dance" is completely gone. Highly recommended.

Ford has wind tunnel tested the LS wing and GT500 spoiler. The LS has a marginal amount more downforce but most of us could not tell the difference. I suspect Joe Foster could tell the difference though.

Huh? The 2012 and 2013 Bosses use the same rear spoiler.
