Active Aero Kit
Saw an article about these guys being at SEMA. Price is pretty low from what I have heard a DRS style setup can normally cost. It's a stand alone system the doesn't tap into the car. It uses GPS, gyroscopes, and accelerometersto determine what position to move the wing to. If the system can be set up to reliably position the wing, it could be a game changer. What say the experts here?

There were some guys on here that used a NA headlight motor mounted in the trunk connected to the brake switch to move a wing up and down when braking on their Chump car. It worked surprisingly well for about free.fifty.
That is the only experience I have personally seen with active aero.

I ran an active wing on Morpheus and Creampuff in 2016-17, mine was configured as a deadman switch on the steering wheel to activate a DRS feature.
There are benefits to be had, but I see a number of compromises that I don't like in the kit you posted, namely the use of electric actuators and the use of a 3D airfoil.
BTDT, and eventually redesigned the system to be pneumatically actuated.
