How did you find the difference red targa ?

Early X-member versus later X-member discussions can go on forever lol.

Although my car has other suspension mods that also that effect handling, I found with the later X-member the car seemed more stable, inspiring more confidence during cornering, especially at high speed.
But probably the main thing I noticed was better straight line tracking on rough surfaces that meant less fatigue after a long trip on typical country roads.

So for me anyway, I believe it was a great mod for very little cost.

BTW, I actually wrote a comprehensive article for the Vic MR2 Club newsletter on doing this swap.
For anyone interested, I could send it if they PM me.

Apologies , you are correct. Handling is affected by any number of things.

This for sale thread is about a late model cross member, not a late model car where any number of things can be adjusted to make it handle like ****house. Your comments above could be misleading about a product Im trying to sell, please modify or delete the comment

The later cross member was introduced to reduce the tendency for oversteer with a new design and different length tie rods.

A performance orientated full wheel alignment by a shop that specialises in prepping motor sport cars is very worthwhile and recommended, can make a huge difference to the feel of the car and also be tailored to your driving preferences.
