RE Amemiya High vs Low Mount GTII Height difference

Anyone know what the exact height difference is between the RE Amemiya High vs Low Mount GTII spoilers?

Best pictures I could find were on Car Shop GLOW and it seems like the High Mount matches the Roof height, while the Low Mount sites a few inches lower.

Go with a full-plate support design, I bent my trunk with the RE style mounts at ~140mph

I'd appreciate that, thank you! If you have some pics of the profile of the car with them on that'd work too

I was wondering about that, it's held on by two M8 bolts from underneath the hatch right?
Do you have any suggestions?

Yeah, don't go 140+ with a big wing, or go with a more solid mount that spreads out the pressure. It pushes down, but it also pushes back a great deal, and that's where the problem was for me.

Was looking more into the wings and has anyone installed the reamemiya GTII wing on a hatch that had already been drilled out for the R1/R2 oem wing?

from the location, it seems like the holes on the outer edge of the hatch for the R1/R2 wing might overlap or be very close to where the GTII wing should install, weakening the already thin hatch the wing is supposed to install into...

I've been leaning toward trying to source a GTIII style wing for this reason only since it seems to need 4 m6/m8 holes closer to the center of the hatch, less chance of directly interfering with the r1/r2 wing holes

The FEED/Afflux GT wing uses the existing mounting holes from the R1 wing. That kit has a larger base piece, the stand then mounts to the base.

I just figured I'd throw that info out there.
