Default GT3 mk1 shocks on 986 S?

Hey everyone!

The shocks on my 2002 986 S are getting bad and I got an offer for a set of used 996 GT3 mk1 shocks.

Will they fit?
Conditional on additional mods/change of parts?

Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated

The rear shocks won't fit as he bottom attachment points are different on the 911 compared to the 986.
The fronts "should" fit as he front ends of both models are similar, but I'm not sure if the bottom of the shocks will fit into the hub carrier.
Spring rates will be completely different too.
Time for more experienced people to tune in.....

That's the info I needed, additional mods needed that is.

Thanks for your response Stephen,
