Do Carrera and GT3 share the same control arms?

[LVDell]

Title says it all. Want to know if the REAR control arms (lower and "dog bone" uppers) are the same between a base Carrera and the GT3?

The part numbers in the PET do NOT match what is stamped on the parts and it seems the p/n's between 996 and GT3 PET's are same/similar.

Reason I ask is that I have removed the control arms from my GT3 (2004) and need to know if they are compatible with the base Carrera if they are the same or not. Would hate to give these to somebody if their car already has them.

TIA!

Yes the stock GT3 (not 004 ClubSport) lower control arms (996.341.053.16) are the same for MY04 Carrera only. They changed in MY05 and were different still on the MY03 and earlier.

Thanks Loren! So, would anybody benefit from the GT3 control arms? What about the uppers as well?

[Loren]

Not really... if they put the ClubSport adjustable lower control arms (the .90 parts) on then they could get more negative camber.

Thanks Loren.

Looks like I have some $$$ paperweights now :)
