09 vs 10 G37X suspension - any change?

I'm looking at purchasing G37X Sedan. Has there been a change in the suspension from 2009 to 2010? I read the Consumer's review and it rated the 2009 suspension as better, but no reason was given. Thanks. FWIW, I'll be trading in a 2008 GTI.

no change. maybe they tested a sport and non sport and preferred one over the other. the X has a different spring rate than the sport. but that has been consistent through the years.

There isn't any documented change, but my 2010 G37x seems more softly sprung and handles worse than the 2009 G37x I had before. Other people on here have commented the same. I think they changed the bushings or something that negatively affected the handling. I loved my 2009 and I quasi-detest my 2010.

Can anyone else comment on this either way? I've searched and can't find anything on this.

I know I'm new here, but have you thought about a set of sway bars like Hotchkiss for your 2010? If all goes according to plan, I'm trading in my GTI this morning for a 2009 graphite G37X sedan with the premium and nav packages. 29,400 miles. The FIRST thing I'm going to do after I've driven it a while is get a set of sways, Hotchkis or Eibach, not sure which. Just a thought.
