Default GT3 vs RS PASM...Difference?

Someone just told me the PASM on the RS is configured differently to the regular 3. Is this true?

the rear suspension has different geometry being a bit wider a few mm but I've never heard the shocks having different settings- not that it matters for me I've just got the regular one!

The suspension and PASM setup is different on the RS.

Hard to notice much on the road or track though.

Could you state what those differences are? I think that was the question.

Ive never seen any mention, in any porsche Tech manual, or any magazine, of any differences in the suspension between the GT3 and the GT3RS.

The components are the same but the calibration is unique to the RS.

I suspect that the wider rear track enables slightly firmer damping in PASM Sport mode.

I have an RS, and a couple of weeks ago, a GT3 owning friend and i jumped in each others cars, and drove to the track, to see if we can feel any differences....

I immediately noticed that his GT3 felt softer in normal PASM mode than mine, for some reason, it felt a little higher than mine (both cars have the same track Geo) but i don't know why....

Also noticed not having the LWFW aswell.
