GT3 Brake Upgrade for 996 C2

Ok, here is another good one. I am in the process of upgrading my brakes to GT3 MkII (04-05). Everyone told me I needed to buy the GT3 front uprights and associated bearings, bearing car, etc. in addition to the calipers, rotors and pads. Today, I took off the "C2" uprights and low and behold I cannot find a **** difference on them that would make the brakes not work with them. There are some very minor machining differences on how the inner brake dust shield mounts, but the caliper bolt holes are the same size, on the same centers and the same distance from the wheel hub. Everything lines up exactly the same. My calipers should be here on Tuesday so I guess I will know 100% then. Any one know of any differences????

Ok, found the difference... the spacing on the caliper bolt holes is slightly larger (less than 1/4"). Just enough that they do have to be changed.

Ed,

You haven't been around for awhile. What have you and your car been up to? I thought you were going to club race it.
