I would go w/ 5th gen stock vs stock the chassis is stiffer.

thats if you're talking about taking hard corners and not driving around in a parking lot.

I'd say the 5th gen just cause it's newer more advanced sus. However my 96 5speed with fstb and rsb can kill a 5th gen on the twisties.lol
I can't wait till I put my agx/sprints on!

Stock my old 97 SE seemed to handle better than my 03 SE, although the updates to the rear beam for 00 its more stable over road defects than the 97.

Well, it doesn't matter, as a Pathfinder will out-handle both.
