As subject header states, will 997 GT3 suspension fit 997s with PASM?

From what I understand. No they will not work. GT3 are actually quite a bit different with how the suspension is setup from the underside. IT will not bolt into the 997S As far as i know

strange...you would think since they are the same body it should work. But I guess I understand what you are saying if the suspension set up is different from underneath. So the top will bolt on but the bottom will not?

no, because the location for where the coilovers mount is different between the 997S and GT3. Different location, different geometry. Such as different in a Turbo/C4S too. Just because they are same look up top everything else is different on the underside..
