Default Roadster suspension question.......

I heard it was different from coupe to accomodate the extra weight and different weight distribution of the roadster. Can anyone verify this or are the suspensions the same?

they should....the roadster has an extra 200lbs in the rear end...

also i've heard the roadster's suspension seem softer because the lack of a roof....

my friend's 03 Track rides stiffer than my 04.5 ZR. But we don't know if that's the change for the model year, or from coupe to ragtop.

I had a '03 coupe and now have a '04.5 roadster. Roadster's much smoother with the extra weight--big difference in the two.
