Just be aware of the balance chain drive issues of the early 2.3. Granted I would assume it was done long ago if the car has any miles on it.
The CS body is torsionally stiffer in the back, but the hatch is smaller.
The 1994+ uses a F25 transmission, for which you can get a torsen diff.
the later bodys also use larger tires (205/55/16 stock, instead of 205/50/16 as the early 9000 and c900 use)
