The chassis bits (A-arms and such) were the same; the additional width was
all in the bodywork, and the wider wheels.
GT5 and GT5-S Panteras used different front spindles and rear uprights; the
latter had different axles with a stepped design, and larger bearings. The
brakes were much larger, three-piston calipers with vented rotors; you can't
bolt GT5 brakes onto an early car as a result, because the mounting tabs are
located differently.
