There is no difference in the steering of any of the years that I am aware of.

93+ MR2s had significantly better brakes, transmissions and a few other details.

hmm

1993 was the year they added the limited slip differential, and made some adjustments to the suspension. 1994 the only thing they changed was the passenger side of the car got an airbag, and new tailliights. All of these things can be accomplished with any year 2nd gen mr2, however I would recommend that u purchase at least a 1993 model year as the limited slip is a very expensive upgrade.

Limited slip was an option from 93 on.
It was not standard equipment.
Just because you have a 93+ does not mean you have LSD.
