Looks like the leading edge of top and lower arm plus the tie rod are aero shaped. Hard to imagine they are responsible for 40 pounds of additional down force. Must be a lot of turbulence they clean up.
Also is the the upper brake duct present in the GT3?
Starting at 9:40 for the front wheel well over view.

Thanks for posting - pretty sure upper ducts are RS-specific (GT3 ones are on lower side, iirc)

It still has the lower side duct.
Looks like Porsche removed the air deflectors on the control arm and inside of wheel well and install this large upper scoop to further clean up the air flow.
I would expect that you need flow to produce downforce, and they have specifically diverted air away from the wheel well on the GT3 - vs. through it on the RS.
Any benefits from retrofitting to GT3? I would think this is only one part of the equation, the second being the air exiting.
Even if the airflow through the GT3 wheel well was adequate to produce additional front downforce, it would put things out of balance with the rear wing. When I was at Manthey, they don’t even recommend full stock downforce in front with full rear wing (they recommended 3/4 front downforce setting to go with 4/4 rear wing). So adding even more front downforce with these aero wishbones would require an aftermarket rear wing to put the car in balance (otherwise the rear end is going to be moving around at very high speed).

Id like the RS front suspension pieces, the Manthey rear wing and aerodisc wheels for my GT3
