Default 996 RSR and 997 Cup damper length?

Does anyone know if 996 RSR share same damper length with 997 Cup?

I am trying to figure out if Ohlins TTX46/TTX40 kit for 997 Cup will fit 996 RSR. Thanks...

I am not 100% sure if they are the same factory spec, but I run this setup on my 996 R and it works great. I am also running 997 rsr uprights. I think we did end up slightly changing the balance of bump vs droop available in the rears, but the overall length and total travel is good. The 996 rsr had very similar/same (depending on year) uprights to the 997s.

Thanks. I saw the 996 R and RSR has different upright, it is interest to know that 997 RSR upright works as well. I think it all up to where the mounting point of the shock at the upright, it will change the overall length. I saw 996 R, RSR, 997 RSR, Cup all have different rear upright part number. That's really making my scratching my head...

Are you still mounting the rear sway bar linkage on the shock or you have relocated it?

My rear swaybar is on a drop link that comes off the lower shock bolt (no longer using the collar/bracket thing that comes off the rear shock body itself). I will try to grab a pic and post it.
