The RB25 is less than 50lbs heavier than the SR20. I don't see why it wouldn't handle well.

Yeah but you have to remeber were is that weigh position the sr20 is small it sit right behind the front axles unlike the skyline engine that would take up your hole engine bay. weigh is a small issue it were its position that matters. if i were to take a sr20 motor and position it right behind the headlights how would you think the car handles? remeber it a light weight motor.

Instead of using the R32 crossmember, buy the custom mounts. They suposedly make it sit closer to the firewall and lower in the bay. I haven't had any problems with mine

Unstable Hybrids makes them. I'm running the R32 crossmember. I don't see how it could sit any farther back personally, but I'm not an expert. Mine handles just as well as my buddies SR20 240, but mine is just a little quicker We are both running KYB AGX struts w/ Eibach sportlines.
