heehee probably not to be honest but if yuo think about it there are probably a lot of things that peeps change on their rex\'s that dont really make much difference.
 
But thats not the point is it ;-)

Almost definately!  The 3rd gen isn\'t the stiffest of chassis out there - jack up a corner and you can have problems closing the doors!  On the other hand you\'d be pushed to notice it outside the circuit...

You would probably be surprised how much difference these make, i work with hundreds of mx5\'s and late ones have factory braces on the underneeth and handle superb but the early ones dont and are a little unresponsive when it comes to corners, the braces pictured above look better constructed than mx5 stock ones.
