Neither are adjustable, however a wickerbill or other means could be used to adjust downforce. As is, the combination adds a significant (>100 PSI of downforce) as compared to single digit downforce for the entire car. I expect the Elise with wing, splitter and the top up will perform similarly to the US Exige. The US Exige has a slightly longer/wider nose and the "fast back" roofline which may give slightly more downforce and provide less drag. I look forward to track testing.
