Picked up the 02 yesterday and said goodbye to my 01. Not easy to do, I loved that car!
After 350 miles I noticed a few minor differences. First, the amount of effort to push the clutch in is significantly greater. I thought it was going to be slightly more effort due to the new springs but this was more than expected.
I could not tell a difference in the ride quality, although most of the miles so far are highway miles.
Can't comment on power increase because I have been very good about avoiding premature acceleration!
Exhaust note is also quite different. This was a surprise to me, I suspect the elimination of the pups is the reason. At idle it sounds a litle louder and has a different note. My wife noticed (surpising enough) and commented that it sounded like the boat we use to own! While driving under moderate conditions I did not notice any difference inside the car.
All in all, I consider myself fortunate to continue to drive the best cars I have ever owned!
