2002 Differences from 2001/2000 from a previous 2000 owner

I had to dial out a little more length in the STB also. It might be evidence of the expansion of the chassis that normally happens between temperature extremes. Or maybe the chassis loosens during the normal operating life of the car?

We're still waiting for the first 2002 models to reach our shores in the UK, I can;t wait to see some of these detail changes in person and feel a test drive is on the cards

I also test drove a 2002 and did not feel the suspension differences. Remember that many times dealers have the tires underinflated, usually 27-28 psi, theres a big difference in ride quality when you pump them up to 36 psi. Personally I have run as little as 30 psi on the steet and the ride is much less choppy and bouncy, all the while retaining great handling, albeit with lower limits. Also when tires are new and have not been broken in, they are riding on a softer and stickier compound that wears off in a couple of hundred miles, that makes them smoother and quieter.
There seems to be no evidence of a suspension change, at least from what Honda is officially saying.

I think the only change in the suspension was a larger front sway bar to give the rear tires more traction when cornering.

According to my info:
MY00,01
F - 28.2mm x T5.0
R - 27.2mm x T5.3
MY02
F - 26.5mm x T4.5
R - 27.2mm x T4.5
Don't ask me what the extra stuff is (I haven't a clue). The part numbers are different for the '02.
