I agreed too, about the third paragraph. I thought that the Bilsteins are suppose to get harder around cornering and smoothes out on the straight a ways. That is one reason why the MR cost more. I thought about getting them.
About the Topic...Like someone said, too many people calling about the great deal. could ruin it for the buyer.

Does it take a genius to realize the RS has an aluminum roof just like your MR? 
I fail to see how the six speed even appears in this discussion about handling. If you want to bring it up, look how many track nuts have replaced their six speed trannies with 5 speeds...
Not only that, but many on these boards will agree that for track duty the Bilsteins are much too soft. They were added to help round the car out, not improve its on track abilities.
And why again is your MR more of a IX than the other cars in the US? Because you own it?
Seriously, take all three trim levels out to a track and run them, the driver is going to be the biggest difference.

... I've driven Evo's with more weight taken out. An RS and every other model besides the MR is barely even an Evo IX in America. They have Evo VIII suspension, tranny, etc. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the MR handles better. All Evo IX GSR's in Japan have everything from the VIII MR: like the bilsteins, aluminum roof, etc. All Evo GSR's since the Evolution VIII have had the 6-spd transmission. The only thing the RS has that I want is black door handles and mirrors.
