I've talked to people with h22's with stock supsension... again.. it's exagerated..

60lbs is NOT very much... especially considering 90% of that weight is actually lower than it was before (the bottom of the h22 sits MUCH MUCH lower than the stock engine and ALL the weight is down low in the tranny and rotating mass)... this would give you a lower center of gravity... and in turn better handling..

The only handling problems you'd have from too much weight on the front springs is bounciness because they're over-worked... but if your struts are in good shape they should compensate.

Other than that there are PLENTY of good handling cars with a lot of weight up front and an h22 in a civic would NOT make the distribution much more than stock... DEFINATELY not enough to make it over 70/30...
