Just OS2 from my understanding. I also asked about the alloy radio tray support with brass weight and V3 Rear shock tower, as Serpent stated they would be in future kits, and mine didn't have them and came from them after that announcement. I was told kits won't have these parts in for a few months. They should really state that on their web site.

I call future kits, any kits leaving Serpent after that announcement. Current kits are kits that are already out at dealers. Mine was not at a dealer, it left Serpent after the announcement, so should have those parts. I'm not that worried, but am alittle disappointed I didn't get those new parts.

Thanks guys. The car was really awesome. By the end of the weekend I had my car working really well. My set up is quit different than I think most others. By the time I was done I had this.
front
short wheel base
2mm castor in front of arms
1 hole piston with 35wt oil and new green springs upper position on new tower
+1 droop
-1 toe on each side
2 camber
just under full lock in the steering
33 twister tires 64mm (qual's)
252mm wheel base
sway bar flat
rear
6.5 droop
2.5 toe
3 camber
2 hole piston with 40wt oil and new blue springs and lower position on tower
camber links short and in middle position on hub
softer rear sway bar 45 degrees
35 twister tires 72mm (qual's)
262mm wheel base
body mount in upper position and 2nd hole from left at top
Notes:
I used the left stiffener without the back screw
I used the aluminum cross plat with the 50gram weight.
I used the new serpent body (not as twicky with the steering)
clutch with a Novarossi 359 (stock flyweights, red shoe, .6 gap with 1.8 serpent spring tighten to 1.5 and .2 end play)
My car was really easy to drive. Very consistent and safe, but fast. In the main it was easy to drive the same line and hit the mark each lap.
If I missed anything just ask.

Where did you set your front roll center?
Where did you set your rear lower hinge pins for rear roll center?
Thanks.

Do you use centric or non centic inserts in your wheelblocks (FR), if non centric we drive droop=0.
Why do you use a FR sway bar? Its just weight Is it the Soft one?
