hey guys...2nd post.....yeeeah!!!
I was wondering which suspension setup and intake/exhaust setup i should install if i was eventually planning on swapping in a SR20?  I just want to switch it all over without buying new ones.

The suspension setup I think that you should go with would be the Apexi N1 Coilover Suspension they are adjustable for any kind of driving cost ($2100),  Exhaust I would go with would have to be the Apexi N1 Single Cat Back system because of its large piping ($395),  If you have the Ka motor you cannot use a KA aftermarket intake on you sr motor so if you are going SR then you should wait and get one when you get the motor other  wise if you just want a intake system I would also go with the Injen Intake system its a really great system ($195).

Pretty much what jd said except for a third of the price, KYB AGX adjustable gas struts and Eibach Prokit make an excellent combination.  It lowers about 1.7" with no height adjustability, but you can adjust the struts' stiffness to fine tune handling/comfort characteristics.  The intake won't crossover, but if the SR is a ways down road, get the Injen piece and then sell it on ebay when you do the swap.  The exhaust will cross over...and I will also agree that the A'PEXi N1 Single is a an excellent choice, especially when you get that turbo motor in there.  The 5Zigen Fireball is a nice piece also.  Just remember, if you plan to go turbo, make sure your exhaust has at least 3" piping.

don't mean to get off topic, but to a lot of ppl actually have the n1 coilovers? just seems like a lot of $ to put into suspension, even though i've read about them n heard nothing but good. do they really handle that much better than an aftermarket spring, shocks/struts set up? i've never had the opportunity to ride in a car w/ an expensive coilover suspension, n only the spring, shock/strut way, but it always seemed a lot better than whatever stock set up the car had before.
