Default Suspension settings: Coupe vs. Cab?

Can someone tell me if Porsche changed the suspension settings between the Coupe and the Cab? And if so how were they changed, and how does that affect the way they drive?

In my non-scientific, seat-of-the-pants impression, I don't think they're different - at least they don't feel much different - if at all. I had a non-S 997 coupe with 19" S wheels without PASM and now have a 997 cab with 19" Classics without PASM.

sports car makers ALWAYS soften the suspension settings when going to an open roof car because of the significant loss of body ridigity that effects all convetibles..porsche did this with the 997 also...the new 997 has such a solid plateform that the suspension softing is very subtle and really noticalbe in very day driving..even ferrari had to soften its settings on the 430 spider vs the f430
