What exactly changed on the 02 and later suspension?
I know that Porsche did a lot of changing in the suspension on the 02 and later Porsches, stiffer sway bars, etc. Does anyone know exactly what changes they made from the 01 and earlier models?

Thanks!

From the sales brochure: ...headlight system derived from the 911 Turbo. More discreet is the careful reshaping of the front and rear fenders, bumpers and air dam. The result is 25% less lift in the front and 40% less lift at the rear for improved high speed stability.... Reinforcements to the body structure have resulted in a 25% increase in torsional rigidity for crisper response and enhanced agility. The standard 17" wheels weigh almost eight pounds less than the previous design, while the optional 18" wheels are lighter by over 24 pounds. The front air ducts have been reshaped to increase the flow of cooling air to the radiators by 15%"

You also get 20 more HP, a glove box, better cup holders and a glass rear window in the cab.

The main difference is that the body is stiffer and they revised the shock and spring rates. As far as i know there were no geometery or structual remonting of the suspention arms and points.
