im trying to decide on a either a less expensive H22A motor, or a nice good ol' expensive B18C-R that i believe is top of the line for my 96 civic, the problem im suipposed to deal with also is a matter of suspension, for either of the engines im deciding on swapping with, would i need to change over to any higher quality shocks, struts, axels, ect.?...i dont wanna get a brand spankin new engin then have my cars front end collapse on me, any one know the answer?, thx

well i don't kmnow ewhat engine you have in right now but for the h22a you need to look into a new suspension setup. get some adjustable shocks, and some good quality springs.

yeah, i think im gunna go with an H22, and i have the stock 1.6L non-vtec right now, my buddy told me new axle...stronger axle, better AXLE, cuz that H22 will tear my car apart if not done right...ill prolly just go the whole 9 yards with suspension
