The later ones i belive have identical rear suspensions, but i have a 
very early one with the original style suspension in the rear.

I know, adam told me all about the difference.  So what i did was i 
messed around with my front ones and they are currently at about 3/4 turn 
from stiff, and that is where i felt it is set right for the best 
improvement.  It does grip better than the UrQ, what i meant was that the 
UrQ is so incredibly surefooted..its amazing..

As far as the tires on my 4kq, they are 195/55ZR14 dunlop sport 8000's.  
They are INCREDIBLE to say the least.  They have some incredible grip to 
them, even though they are small. Ask anyone who has driven it, it is an 
amazing little car... 

later...
