Future Evo owner looking for advice

whats up everyone. im in the market for an evo but i cant decide on which one.. i know it will be the 2006 IX but here is my question... can anyone give me the Pro's and Con's of the MR and the SE models... ive been told that the SE's 5 speed tranny is stronger/more reliable then the MR's... the MR's suspension is better then the SE's cause of the bilstein's...i would appreciate it very much if anyone could guide me in the right direction on picking a car..

Thanks

Martin

What are your goals for the car? Just a mild DD or a track setup? Plays a big role.

+1 5spd all the way the MR struts are easy enough to change out, much easier than a trans.

I had them on my car and they do work very well, drag and in the twisties.
