Default 2010 vs 2011 suspension.

I recently joined this club. Next week I am moving to Houston and I will be looking to buy either a 2010 or 2011 ISF (maybe 2012) if anyone has one for sale please let me know. I am looking for Smoky Graphite mica or nebula gray pearl (2012 model) if I can't find any of those two, then obsidian black.

Any ways, my biggest question is the suspension. I did google and it seems no ones answers the question. 2010 vs 2011, suspension ONLY, can you tell a difference? If you can, is it really noticeable for daily driving?

Also, assuming I get the 2010, any coilovers/springs that could make the 2010 better for daily driving? (as good or better than a 2011)

Thank you.

Suspension received minor revision in 2012 as well. As far as aftermarket, KW V3 should get you a nice performance + comfort level (do some research)

08-10 has the same suspension. All revisions came in 2011+. As I'm sure you know, the only update to the 10's is the lsd.

I would opt for a 2011+ not only because of upgraded suspensions but you also get more amenities such as updated gauge cluster, alcantara seats, LED DRL, wheels (2012+), and etc.

Thank you very much. So the suspension on the 2010 is the same as the 2008-2009. Got it.

So never mind, looking for a 2011+ in the area of Houston or 500 miles range if anyone wants to sell their baby
