Unless it's a typo from printing. There are differences.

Nope. Handling has reportably been improved. Springs and shocks were also changed for '02.

Yes, that is what I meant, thank you. Changed accordingly.

Ok, since this has been confirmed, then it has changed from 11.5:1 to 11.0:1.

What effect will this have (I'm sure it is miniscule)

No, the non-Japan market cars all have 11.0:1 compression. The Japanese get 11.7:1, due to the availability of higher-octane fuel there. But again, these compression ratios have not changed since the introduction of the car.
