I have looked at every site I can find and all they say is " the new 09 has a revised rear suspension geometry." But there is no clue on what_ that really is.
Is it bigger swaybars or more camber and more toe in? Does anyone know for sure? I have the 40th 2008 model that comes with Sport bilsteins, bigger brakes etc. but if there is a better set up I'd like to know :)
Thanks!

I don't know, but "better" depends on your point of view. I kind of like the tail-happy nature of my 8, except on wet roads. It's funny to see the faces of oncoming drivers when I booty-shake around a turn. I'd probably like it a lot less if I drove it on a track though.

All 5 arms per side in the rear have changed part numbers from F151 to F189 and so has the spindle assy while the crossmember remains the same. This would indicate to me that the angles of attatchment to the spindle have probably been altered. That's my guess.

Outstanding..much thanks Paul! I will add a tiny bit more of rear toe -in for better braking stability at speed ( she feels loose when hard braking at speeds over 90 mph)

A rear strut tower brace also helps this according to Old Dragger

good job paul.
have you looked at the shocks and springs? as a note was in the competition section about them being shorter or longer, i forget.
