Default 996 GT3 Sways fit 996 Cabs?

I thought I've seen a few posts about GT3 Sways fitting on regular 996's but new drop links are needed. Can anyone confirm and/or give me some part numbers on the needed hardware?

front adjustable drop links are needed. You need 2 sway bar bushings and clips per sway bar.

I can get you the part #'s later this morning. Brandywine Porsche is closest to us and one of the more competitive prices. After that Sunset or SunCoast.

Here are the part numbers for the GT3 sway bars and hardware.

Front:
Stabiliser: 996 343 701 90
Stabiliser mounting (bushing): 996 343 792 16 (need 2)
Clip (metal piece that holds bushing): 996 343 777 01 (need 2)

Rear:
Stabiliser: 996 333 701 90
Stabiliser mounting: 996 333 792 21 (need 2)
Clip/Clamp : 996 333 777 01 (need 2)

New adjustable front drop links are needed (since the stock units don't fit anymore) and the rears are optional unless you wish to corner balance the car and take out any pre-load. Send me a PM if your are interested in some front drop links. I know a guy that sources them himself.

Last thing. Just learned from my dealer that you can re-use your existing Clips that hold the rubber bushings.

Thanks again. One of my Porsche buddies is upgrading his GT3 Sways so that's a couple of parts out of the way that I don't have to worry about purchasing.

Should run about 300 for the bars and 150-200 for the front adj drop links. Alone they are a very good 1st step upgrade on the suspension that will not need to be thrown away later when/if you upgrade shocks/springs.

The TRG adjustable drop links are awesome.
I used those together with the GT3 sway bars on my cab.

FYI: I have a full set of drop links from Insite sitting on my desk. Good stuff. Thanks Kevin-Insite.

Should hopefully get everything installed in the car over the weekend. GT3 Shocks/Springs and sway bars.
