Default Roadster Shocks and Springs..

Does anyone know if the roadster has different shocks and springs than the coupe? I think it would given the weight increase. I was wondering if those could be use in the coupe to stiffen up the ride. Just a though.

Ya know what though. I've noticed that in every single test of the roadsteer, none of them say boo about ride harshness like they did with the coupe. And they've actually praised the ride quality. Even went as far as saying it ride better than it's topless competition. I suspect they may have softed it.

I spoke to one of the NNA marketing guy, and he indicated that '04 model coupe or roadster both had their suspension tune different than the '03, but he didn't know what has been done to it. I guessing possibly different rates on the spring, i will try to verify with the Service training Tech tomorrow!

I read an article on the roadster, autoweek, I think, and it said the roadster rode better than the coupe. Then they said, the only difference between the 2 were recommended tire pressures.

It baffled them as well.
