Very informative. Does this swap, in your opinion, translate to something which can be felt in the overall steering feel and handling of the car? Street and track car.
GT3 uprights reduce front end bump steer on lowered cars. If you drive aggressive enough on street it should be noticable. I don't drive fast on street so I don't know.
Won't fit OEM Carrera shocks. Need GT3 or equivalent aftermarket coilovers.
Most GT3 and GT3 Cup variant uprights use different wheel speed sensors that require crazy modification to make fit. Drilling, precise machining, welding...
From original vehicle sales literature-

Yes, it is possible to install 997 GT3 PASM shocks on 997 C2/C2S with the use of adapter parts. See post #1 of this thread.
I have the adapter parts including the sleeves that I make to make this a bolt-on installation.

Cayman and Boxster have completely different rear shocks that aren't interchangeable.

Thanks for reply. Do they also fit 997 turbo or 4s?
what is the cost for sleeves?

the reason I ask is because I might want to replace suspension on my 997 gt3. And sell the oem suspension.

Would the bilstein b16 damptronic be good for my gt3?

How much does this kit cost? If the car is a non PASM 997 C2, after your kit, and GT3 suspension shocks and springs.... what else is needed? just a simple DSC controller? Or would we need the DSC that adds PASM connection?

Also do you guys rebuild GT3 shocks? What would that go for?

Trying to figure out a compliant suspension with drop (I find my Eibach pro kit a little harsh on LA streets and pot holes).


THANK YOU!
