2009 RX8 R3 suspention improvements

I have read all the new articles about the new "face lift" RX8 called R3 and every editor says the handling improvement is amazing. One said it is now one of the best handling cars under 100k, another said it now beats the Evo X. These are in the "media" section. The new components should be bolt on to our suspention and structure. Specificaly mentioned was foam filled cross member and Blistien shocks. I am sure there is more to it, but I'm not gonna be out handled by a new off the lot RX8 after all the money I've spent on my car. 8)

I am very interested in any more information and specifically the most bang for my buck on these Mazda suspention upgrades. If you have any info please share.

Thanks

Does anyone have picture comparisons of the rear geometry difference for the facelifted RX-8s?

Crossmember

Can anyone tell me where on the car the cross members are installed? I assume it is on the undercarrage, can anyone link me a pic?
