I know what one is, I was keen to see it on a FWD car with a solid rear beam.

Having owned an astra coupe and a vectra b, Similar size and weight etc but the vectra having independant rear susp. The difference in handling was immense.

Alot of motoring press say the RS250 handles better than the Focus RS and that has independent rear v torsion beam axel.

I think a better question is how long will the gearbox last

Could someone on here invent an engine that could run on the millions of scrapped M32 gearboxes?

Recent review of RS250 they didn't rate it that well says its lots a lot of the steering feel and it's quite detatched to drive

My understanding is that it helps stop unwanted camber and toe changes under load?

Nope, it stops the axle moving from side to side it won't actually affect the handling as such, only in the fact that it prevents that lateral movement.
