MotorsportsR is a splendid one to behold

Is the 996 GT3 RS suspension better than the 996 GT2?

Yes, and it makes a hell of a difference.

I have the front suspension components (uprights, brake ducts) available for sale that are brand new if you're interested. Turn-in improves dramatically.

This is one of the biggest differences between the 996 and 997 versions.

Like night and day. Totally different suspension geometry, optimized for lower ride height. GT3-RS suspension pieces were homologated for use in 2004 spec RSR.

996 GT3 RS vs. 997 GT3 CUP Uprights

Hello.

I have some toughts about this. Do anyone know the suspension dampers from an GT2 will it on the 996 GT3 RS uprights?

And also if anyone know what the diffrence is betwene the 996 GT3 RS uprights and the 997 GT3 CUP car because the cup car have uprights that is almost the same as the on one the GT3 RS. Or maybe there is no diffrence?

I have heard that the cup cars have shorter dampers and thats way the 997 CUP uprights would not fit but im not shure.

Best Regards
Oscar
