Anyway, I haven't put much into my suspension yet, other than replacing all the wear items and new bushings and sways, so we will see what happens with the KW Variant 3's.

I will leave the 91 geometry for now. BTW I found the exact pictures I needed regarding it by searching on the net.

If I may make a recommendation, the KW Variants are without a dout a step in the right direction if you wonna get your MR2 to handle like the Elise, but don't forget the tires, the Elise is running on very special Yokohoma Advan tires which is one of the stickiest tires you can get, which will account for a lot of the responsiveness. What kind of tires are you using on your MR2? That might solve a lot of your problem.
