iirc early or late offset they both have the same wheelbase so there should be no difference in spec causing "tramlining". They only made them late offset to add abs but in doing so they added unsprung weight (bad), made the rotors easier to change (good) and fitted a beefier hub (good). All these things really have no effect on a street car, more effect on a track car.

I don't think there is one MY better than the other, it just depends what you want from the car, they all have their pluses & minuses. My preference FWIW is the Euro spec MY83 or MY86.
