However, and this is perhaps your question, the GT3 uses some different suspension components than the standard car.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, My newly bought 2000 996 Carrera looks like a jeep, especially with the 19" wheels I am planning to get for it. Since I am not sure about just changing to aftermarket parts, I am considering the GT3 chassis. There must be a few used out there, from track conversions. Does the chassis fit on my 996? Is this a good idea considering ride height, comfort and so on? Is there anyone here that have doe this? Thanks, Johan

POST 2Original post

"does the chassis fit" doesn't even make sense! The 996 GT3 and the 996 use the same "chassis".. However, and this is perhaps your question, the GT3 uses some different suspension components than the standard car. The 996 Cup car uses still different components than the regular 996. Changing items like shocks, struts, control arms etc will certainly effect items like ride height, camber and overall road comfort. So.. How do you use the car? Do you merely want to "lower" the car? Are you looking for something else?

POST 3Original post

I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking as well. Do you just want to lower the car?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry, language confusion. In Sweden we call the struts, shocks and sway bars "chassis", but apperantly there are other things included in the US "chassis". I want it lower and stiffer, better handling but not race-stiff. And I want to change struts, shocks and maybe sway bars, no control arms. Any ideas? Johan

POST 5Original post

PO put a GT3's suspension on out 996. Really love the way it handles... driveway clearance not so much
