Default 991.2 GT3 RS coilovers on 991.2 GT3

Hey there!

New 991.2 GT3 owner (jumping over from a 997.2 GT3) and obviously first sensible thing is to do some shopping ... Since I don't want to go full bananas with KW Competitions (yet), I found an offer for used 991.2 GT3 RS coilovers. Do they fit on a otherwise stock 991.2 GT3? Any mods or other parts needed? I was looking to get the RS top mounts so I can rotate them and get more camber (car is basically 50% track tool) but if I can get a good deal on full coilovers, I'd rather go for that and get some stiffer springs along.

Thanks!

If you're trying to max out the stock suspension, I would go with the RS/Cup top mounts, DSC controller, and Swift spring upgrade. I don't see any use going with the RS springs as they are still progressive rather than linear.

I got info from Manthey Racing that the RS coilovers don't even fit the GT3. This may or may not be true, because to my logic, uprights, etc, should be the same ... Oh well, I guess I'm on the hunt for RS/Cup top mounts and all the other bits.

It's a great combination. I love it!

Not true. The shocks themselves are interchangeable. The only exception would be FAL; If one car has hydraulic FAL and the other has pneumatic FAL then no.
