It's oft quoted, but not said here yet:

A KA has more than enough power to get you in trouble.

I did some mild suspension work (springs and tokico blues), and that has made my car's handling just perfect for me. Few people "need" coilovers, particularly for a daily driver. I even passed up adjustible shocks because I knew I wouldn't bother with them.

Another thing to consider, if you can get past the ineed for instant gratification, is to save your $1200 for the SR if that's what you really want. Or heck, hang on to it for a rainy day. I miss the days when I had $1200 to spend on one thing (aside from rent :P). In all honesty, I say don't spend the money yet. Get your license, get the '98 KA in there, and make sure you have some cushion spending money "in case shit happens"
