997.1 GT3 Suspension into a 997.1 C2S??

Does any know if the stock 997.1 GT3 suspension could bolt directly into a 997.1 Carrera S? I know the sway bars and LCA are the usual, how about the shock and springs (coilovers)?? Are they PASM? Has anyone done it? Any link or info?

It should fit, but I would just get a set of Damptronics.

1) to the OP: I bought a set of used Damptronics from a fellow 6-speeder and it worked out really well. Highly recommended!

2) I am very interested in finding out the differences between a GT3 suspension and the Carrera S suspension. In addition to understanding the stock differences, I'd also like to figure out what a modified version of the GT3 suspension would look like. For example, GMG, RSS, now Champion and others make parts that fit either car. A stock GT3 sway bar might be better than a stock Carrera one, but if they each get the same aftermarket part, then they're on par. If one were to buy Damptronics and then a bunch more of these parts, is there anything missing? Which parts are needed to get to parity or better than stock? Which ones are needed to get to parity with a well-modded GT3? I'm thinking that motor mounts and such should be included as chassis/suspension... I realize i should do some real research vs just tossing it out on the forum, but I think this is relevant to this thread...

I think the GT3 have an height adjustable suspension and is stiffer - coilover system. Since I've read that Carrera S could only lower up to 15mm without getting adjustable dog bones and/or other parts. I want to keep the pasm function and also stock GT3 handles so well already but it doesn't seem like a popular option. Why?
