It seems as though u care about ur handling if you are wanting to upgrade the suspension. Therefore I would go w/ either an SR or CA. RB is WAY too heavy and just too much power, and the KA is heavier.
I wont mention any power benefits of a SR vs. KA, its not worth the argument

I would have to agree the RB is too heavy. Not to say the car still wound't handle, but maybe not the way you will want it to. It's all what your looking for, if you want something that has tons of power and torque, then go RB. But realistically if you want a well balanced machine, go with the SR20det. I personally wouldn't bother building up the Ka, no disrespect to those who have well built Ka's. But after all the work you still have a nice "truck motor"...and there's alot more aftermarket support for the SR.

Having driven BOTH an SR20 S13 and an RB25 S13 I would say that the handling arguement is all BS. To me, the normal driver, the cars both performed the same except in one respect...the Rb25 was tons faster.

rb is nice but, think about all the ****e you have to go thow. Man! if I have those money. I buy a skyline. But if I were you, I thinkk??????? Do what you want. Cause the RB is cool but think about the part for it. SR20DET is the best..But hey this is what I think so is all up to YOU>>>>>>>>

so basically this is going to start a fricken war here so... either go SR, or RB cause honestly its all up to you. Both valid motors and both have strong points. I could throw in my opinion but will just further this. Go with what you want.

everyone is going to say theres a lot of stuff to do to make the weight even again by moving battery and lots of other things. this shouldnt have to be done for the money to do that swap u can have a solid sr with lots of mods and a great trackable car with good weight distribution

to even out the weight put the battery in the trunk....simple as that! you really dont even have to. filling up your gastank will be felt more than the RB swap. and I dont think the RB is any harder or more $$$$ to swap than an SR cause you save money on the motor to make up for it. and you get a bada$$ motor that whoops a stock KA, .... and lets face it, thats the point isnt it?
