I think I am still confused on this subject. I have heard they are different but I have parked beside GT3 RS cars and the wing uprights look the same to me. Fyi, I am running the Baron GT2 RS wing uprights, they are three inches taller. Sharkwerks has them on their website but I have heard they are either back ordered or something has disrupted their sourcing as they no longer can fill an order. One of my FB Porsche group friends is trying to buy mine and told me he couldn't buy them when he tried off sharkwerks. p.s. my avatar is with the OEM uprights.

Thanks and yes Guards Red. Again I am not sure GT3 RS vs GT2 RS, I have seen youtube review vids where the host says the GT2 RS wing uprights are taller than the GT3 RS (perhaps it was a 991.1 GT3 RS?) but parking next to one they looked the same. Other guys on here have told me the 991.2 GT RS cars' uprights are the same height but I have never personally measured a 991.2 GT3 RS wing up right so do not know for sure. I have measured my Baron wing uprights and they are three inches taller then my OEM GT2 RS uprights and put the wing just above the mirror sight line. Here are my OEM uprights in a glamor photo a few days before I took delivery.

Again, I have parked next to 991.2 GT3 RS cars and stood there and looked at them side by side and they look the same to me. Having said that, as are many things on the GT2 RS cars, the equipment is still not very well understood or documented in easy to find sources.

could you please measure the exact width between the support struts and their height on the GT2 RS ?

Is you car a .1 ? The .2 cars I have seen do not have the middle brace...they just have two braces with one opening.

Ok just measured, my GT2 RS OEM uprights top rear center hole to bottom rear center hole is 12 1/4 inches...as an Fyi, I just measured my Baron uprights and they are indeed three inches taller at 15 1/4".
Just for clarification here is a pic of my my OEM wing uprights...as you can see I only have one open space in between the two upright braces. As I mentioned previously I have parked right beside a 991.2 GT3 RS and his uprights look like mine, in other words no middle brace like yours or like my Baron's. Edit: just converted 12 1/4" and got 31.115 cm so I assume one of us measured inaccurately and they are the same. For whatever it is worth the Baron's on sharwerks are listed for GT3 RS or GT2 RS so you might inquire with them to see if they currently have any sourced.

they are the same height. Here is my 3rs parked next to my 2rs. You can see it’s the same level
