If I understand right, the PDCC only affects the engagement of the sway bars, not the sway bars themselves. So can I change the sway bars to GT3 and still have the PDCC work appropriately?
I think the answer is *maybe* it all depends upon how Porsche designed the attachment of the PDCC drop links to the ARBs/sway bars ... I think a quick look at PET might indicate if this is probable, I'd check to see if PDCC variants
have a different part number for the sway bars than the non-PDCC if its different there is a chance that they are not compatible (although a different part could simply indicate a different specification for bar dia)
Given the PDCC is designed/calibrated for a softer sway bar than a standard Carrera, I wonder what putting an even stiffer GT3 sway bar in there would do.

+1 my concern also, I took a peek at PET, there are a lot of different ARBs/sway bars depending upon variant and PDCC ... and I am not able to
decode the variant codes to determine much information of value ...
So I did a little detective work on part #'s (disclaimer, this may not be complete)
GT3 ARBs/sawyabars
Front:
Stabilizer: 991.343.701.80
bushings: 991.343.793.02 (not sure if this is a pair or not, probably not)
bracket: 991.343.777.80 (need 2x)
droplink: 991343.069.80 (need 2x)
Note that the PASM-S front stabilizer is: 991.343.705.14
bushing: 991.343.792.13 (2x)
Rear:
Stabilizer: 991.333.701.80
bushings: 991.333.794.80 (not sure if this is a pair or not, probably not)
bracket: 991.333.794.80 (need 2x)
droplink: 991.333.071.80 (left)
droplink: 991.333.072.80 (right)
Note that the PASM-S rear stabilizer is: 991.333.705.16
bushing: 991.333.794.09 (need 2x)
I need to check that the bushings/brackets are GT3 specific and not generic parts, you would also need silicon based lube for the bushings.

p.p.p.s.: Sounds like maybe ARB design and implementation is more complicated than it looks and just maybe the GT3 ARB on a Carrera isn't such a good idea. Who knew?

although I *believe* Tarrett Eng resell the GT3 bar (at least the fronts) as a modification for (non-PDCC) 991's ...
BTW I think if I was going to put thicker bars on a 991 I would also replace the OEM droplinks for Tarrett or similar...
Not sure if you're aware but the TPC Racing sway bars (aka 991 Stage 1 Suspension) come with a set of adjustable drop links as pictured below... will let you know how they work out when I get this setup mounted in a couple weeks.

Vise the TPC kit only comes with front DLs apparently and reuses the OEM on the rear of I were doing this with the tarett kit I'd do both...
