Default PCCBs from GT4 or GT3 on a 981 Spyder?

Hey guys. Quick question. Can I fit PCCB rotors and calipers from my GT4 or GT3 onto a 981 Spyder with standard brakes? This would be a complete replacement of calipers and rotors.

I assume you know the PCCB parts for the Spyder differ from the GT cars. The Spyder's PCCB brake discs are much smaller.

And you need more than just calipers and rotors to do the conversion.

My guess without looking at part numbers... Calipers will require different wheel carriers which will lead to suspension components as well. GT4 has the GT3 Front suspension which isn’t shared with the Spyder. So you are looking at major $$$. I had to do the same (wheel carriers) for my Retrofit for my 987 Spyder. Interesting side fact... the PCCB rotors are shared between the 987 and 981 Spyder. They are the exact same size. Porsche has however updated them (what I’m not sure... but they are on their 3rd version) My rotors have a 987 and 981 part number on them. Calipers on the other hand are different between the 987 and 981.
