Thank you!

The wing is attached to the trunk with Rivnuts, 6 on each side. 12 in total.

I had the mounts custom fabricated, and they are large enough that they dissipate the force evenly across the trunk. I've had the wing off numerous times since originally installing, and there is zero deformation or bending on the trunk. No additional brackets inside the trunk, no. I've had the car over 150mph with the wing installed, and it was rock solid.

The BC's are good for daily driving. Not bouncy, and not extremely harsh. I opted for the swift spring upgrade as well, which offer linear spring rates. I went with the default BC spring rates though, as I assumed they would be up to the task for the time being.

If we're being honest, I plan on upgrading to Ohlins Road and Track suspension before this car has it's first track day. The BC's are good, but I don't think they'll perform how I'm hoping on the track.
