RS: Rubbing front and rear

Is part of the bulletin to remove the plastic mesh in the forward section of the front fender liner? The mesh that separates the tire from the front side radiators and fans?
If so, one should note that the regular GT3 has a propensity to shoot rocks off the tire towards the radiator and has been known to pierce the radiator.
2014 GT3s were delivered with no mesh, fine mesh was installed via service bulletin.
2015 and 2016 GT3s were delivered with a medium mesh. There has been more than one medium mesh car that still managed to pop its own radiator. I was present for one during the last Smokies event.
On my personal 2015 I added small stainless mesh on the radiator side of my factory mesh.
Not sure if this applies, but certainly be wary of what is getting removed and potential side effects.

Measure for the Entire Vehicle:
Perform alignment. Make sure height is never less than the required vehicle height at front and rear axles
Measure for the Front Axle
Remove upper grilles in the wheel housing liners ... for track use. Re-Install for raod use.

Flare the wheel arch on the rear side panel over an extended area to prevent...
They privode guidance for the work. This is a 9 pages bulletin...
Hope it helps

I think there is more (shorter) compression over the big bumpes at Sebring.
T1 is much less compression that at the Ring and eventually it stopped rubbing at the Ring.
Still if it doesn't rub at the Ring, it shouldn't rub anywhere and if the car works at the Ring is should work everywhere. The car should just come with street and Ring setup numbers. Done.

I just noticed my new RS front tires rubbing against the back part of the inside wheel well when at about 50% to 100% lock range on both front tires. This is when the car is at rest. Only 250 miles on it. 100% stock off showroom.
Are you guys seeing this problem only when tracking the car or always? Trying to see if my issue is the same as the tech bulletin addresses. Looks like it's going back for service after just 2 weeks home.

Yes. Much more likely to see debris or rocks shoot up there without the mesh

I finally got my car to a Porsche Workshop:
They got an advice from Porsche for a specific setup for every 991 GT3RS to avoid to much scratching of the fenders. It is 2mm higher in the front and 5mm higher in the rear than my current setup (factory setup).
The car is currently at the shop and I will use it next week so I don't know much more.
Soon it will be a perfect off-roader...
