GREDDY X VOLTEX REAR WING CENTER MOUNT CARBON FOR TOYOTA 86 ZN8 SUBARU BRZ ZD8 17010238

Here are the likely benefits — and trade-offs to watch out for — of installing the GREDDY × VOLTEX Rear Wing Center Mount Carbon (part no. 17010238) on a Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ (ZN8 / ZD8):

Benefits:

1. Increased downforce / improved stability at high speed
   The wing is designed to “increase the downforce and chassis stability under higher speeds.” 
   Downforce at the rear helps push the rear tires into the road, improving grip when cornering, reducing oversteer tendencies, and giving you more confidence in fast turns.
2. Adjustable wing angle
   The wing comes with a three-position adjustable angle to let you tune for the balance between downforce and drag. 
   This flexibility is useful to adapt to different driving conditions (e.g. street vs track).
3. Lightweight carbon construction & premium looks
   The wing is made of wet carbon fiber (twill weave) for the blade, with clear coating. 
   Carbon helps keep weight lower compared to heavier materials (steel/aluminum/spoilers) and gives a more aggressive, race-inspired aesthetic.
4. Center mount configuration
   The center mounting style gives a cleaner look (less obstruction on the trunk deck) and potentially more symmetric force distribution, compared to side mounts. Some sellers mention the wing “blends in well with the body” and is less visually obtrusive than “larger rear race wings.”  
5. Complements an aero kit
   As part of the GREDDY × VOLTEX aero kit family for the GR86 / BRZ, it integrates with front lips, side skirts, rear under spoiler, etc., for a balanced aerodynamic package.  

Trade-offs & Considerations / Limitations

• Drag penalty / top speed tradeoff
  More downforce almost always comes with more aerodynamic drag. On long straights or high speeds, the wing can reduce top speed or acceleration. You’ll need to balance wing angle to get usable benefit without too much drag.
• Effectiveness threshold
  The aerodynamic benefits will only become significant at higher speeds (e.g. track or highway speeds). At low speeds (city driving), you might not notice much difference.
• Installation complexity & structural load
  The wing requires drilling into the trunk or mounting points. Improper installation can cause stress, leaks, trunk damage, or structural fatigue. 
  Also, the mounting must be rigid to transmit loads safely.
• Added weight (albeit small)
  Even carbon wings add some weight (brackets, bolts, reinforcements). Though minimal, the center of mass shift matters in a lightweight car like the 86/BRZ.
• Cost / ROI
  It is a premium part, so the cost is high. The performance gain (especially for street use) may not fully justify the cost.
