I'll be taking the ST rotors off the Voodoo and installing them on the Storm Trooper, pulling the PCCBs and putting them in a box. I have to return the Voodoo to stock, so my GMG exhaust will be pulled and installed on the new RS. This will also include the GMG Voodoo half cage (that GMG color matched perfectly) which will be powder coated white and installed on the .2 . The AntiGravity Lithium battery will also be swapped, further lightening up the car. First things first thou, get the clear bra installed to protect all that carbon!

Wow, just killer... Congrats.
We were up at Monterey for Speedweek, and we have our Booth at the Track for the Classics Race Event and I got to see the new RS and a GT2 as well as just about everything else from the Paganis, Konegs, McLarens.... but for some reason even with the ultra exotics around I will still fawn over the RS. Don't get me wrong, to see some of those cars it jaw dropping, especially the Konegs, but maybe its the fact that they are out of my reach, or that it just TOO much for my personality to drive something like the exotics, but whatever it is, love these GT3/2s Cars. I think alot of people love them to because we have the RS in front of our Booth and it draws people even with tons of other cool cars around.

I assume add camber to the front and rear, say -2.7 F/-2.6 R, Toe F 0/R 4mm and corner balance as well as take the mesh out of the front fender vents. Ride height adjustments?
I haven't read about rubbing issues, so I assume no need to roll the fenders like the .1.
Thanks

Congrats!
This is the first time I'm hearing about the mesh, but it makes sense. Please keep us updated.
I guess my car should be getting to the dealer soon... Your car was on the Altair Leader, right?

I’ve never had the screens in. Not sure what they are supposed to do.
i figure it’s a government useless thing, like orange corner lights.
I did knock out a couple of those front fender spoke things trying to find out how low I can go..
That also resulted in the lip being shaved off a 1/4”
That’s on 19”

Voodoo is heading to the shop tomorrow to be converted to stock and I'll bring the WP in after the cage is powder coated white and get the set up completed.
Agree with those the ride height and rake can make huge differences in handling. I had a fairly slammed setup in the Voodoo but had serious understeer issues. Add rake helped a bunch, almost a different car.

Perhaps I am providing a non-answer here, but whatever you do with ride height on the RS you need to do in conjunction with all other adjustments and together with an outfit who have experience with these cars. I don’t know about the gen2 3RS but the gen1 as well as the 2RS have serious issues with rubbing which is made worse when lowering the car or changing rake. It’s a trade off for having wider tyres, but will increase tyre wear and damage the wheel liners. Very disconcerting too when you take a compression and it sounds like pneumatic drill is taken to your chassis.

The problem is the wheel size.
If you do nothing else go 19”.
Now that Hoosier has 20” perhaps 19” F and 20” R.
With the front I can’t go low and wide enough. So I’m as low as fits on 295/30/19.
The rear could go lower but doesn’t work as well do perphaps there is a size that works replacing the 345/30/19?
I haven’t looked into the 20” Hoosier outer diameter dimensions.
Thinking of getting wider fronts 19” so maybe need wider rears also.
Ton of room back there.
