Same experience as me. Not much adjustment on Pro compared to my friends GTR where you can adjust the wing much more. Anyway for all GTR owners I recommend to read this article about the GTR aerodynamics. See link.

Appreciate the insights. I just needed something that can work well enough for occasional spirited drive in canyons. Tikt is a pain to correspond with for some reason. I have a dedicated GT3 for my track duties, which btw uses defectors and has worked wonders. I know...apples vs oranges.

The adjustment on my Pro's wing (originally) was only a few degrees, but I could see that it should be much more. After pulling the wing off and looking at the way things fit, it was clear that part of the bracket was impeding movement ... even though it was obviously designed to move much more. I ground a little off (rounding off a square corner) and now the wing has about 10 degrees of adjustment and, at each end of adjustment, the bracket sits/fits perfectly. I'm pretty sure there was some sort of oops when my (and possibly other) brackets were made.

Oh, and after re-reading the aerodynamics paper, page 142 section 4.2 does state "... the chance for the drivers to feel free to adjust the rear wing to their liking in a range of just l0° ..." so my bracket definitely was incorrectly blocking adjustment.
