Since then I've passed the 93+ rear suspension bits on to someone else and have been tracking a couple of different 91-92 MK2's almost every other weekend for most of the last summer. The only times I have spun the cars is when I have lifted the throttle mid-corner while driving right up against the traction limits. The one exception to that rule was when I hit some slick mud on a wet track while accelerating through a corner - again near my traction limits - the car also went around then.
My point is that if you're driving with a reasonable safety margin like you should be on public roads, then there are very few situations where you should spin the car. If you do run into one of those situations, I'm not sure the differences between the 91 & 93 suspension would make a difference.

I agree 100 percent, I think if you are really pushing the limits of the MR2's grip then maybe ( and I STRESS MAYBE) you might be able predict what the car will do a tad better and because of that it might make the car a tad easier to recover, however as a whole the MR2 is still a mid engine car and a mid engine car in general takes more skill to recover from a skid.
