The rear lateral rods are 996 parts (996-331-045-12) and have been superseded to 997-331-045-04. If you check the Porsche dealer parts sites it states it’ll fit 986, 996, 987, 997.

So it’s most likely that, yes, they’ll fit. But it’s best to ask them directly first.

I have these same Megan toe arms installed on my 04. They fit fine. I installed them over a year ago when I installed coilovers.
