down grade in no sense. start upgrading the mr2 and you will be happy. those cars are a blast to drive, especially when pushing over 400whp

Yeah my friend has one of the newer MR2's (2004 or 2005) - cooked it with my friend's B16a (JDM) hatch w/ basic I/H/E...

This wasn't some rollin **** from a highway at 40mph either, this was right off the line side by side, I was extremely surprised..

He told me later at some point in mine and his life that he liked the way it handled..but then again it's an '05 or '04....so I don't know, my other friend had a type R and it handled okay, wasn't like the corvette or anything, but for 4 banger that doesn't cost 50 grand it was nice -better than mine...ya, the stock EX suspension it something to really be scared about O.O - trust me on that one...

The SW30's are pieces of ****. If you are going to own an MR2 you had better have a SW20 for it to be even worth it.
