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!

The sway bars are slightly changed in diameter, the springs rates are also slightly changed, the main difference in handling of the 02s is a 25% stiffer chassis made possible by the use of bronzed steel stringers in the tub assembly (platform) the slight changes in aerodynamics also contribure to better handling. (the cab chassis is MORE than 25% stiffer than the 01 models)
