im about ready to drop in a h22 into my ej8. my second concern is my suspension. which coilovers would withstand with this heavyweight h22 for a long time while not ridding to stiff but smooth? i was thinking about functions & form, they ride pretty smooth and not too stiff. something adjustable because cuz im trying to stay away from h22 ek ground clearence issues

high spring rate=hold up more weight.
low spring rate=soft ride.

physics=not your friend today.

I agree. Wherever you are going to order from call them and see what they suggest. However, what makes sense to me is a high spring rate takes more weight to compress the spring, ideal for a heavy engine yes? but they also ride rougher than a softer spring. I guess what you have to find out is the balance between a nice ride and stiff enough springs.

I highly doubt the H22 is that much heavier that youll have to start tinkering with spring rates. Youre not swapping an LS1.

Very true, when it comes down to choosing suspension, especially when considering aftermarket suspension which for the most part have increased spring rates over the stock suspension, even the OTS suspension, the increased weight of an H22, which isn't much, is moot.

EJ8 + JDM H22A = Heavy which spring rate you guys suggest for the front suspension?
im planning to get good sway bars front and back and performance control arms and Traction Bars

Read the two posts above yours, the increased weight of an H22 is null. The majority of the OTS rates will be fine for you. The OTS Tein or H&R rates will be fine for you, if you want coilovers ground control rates will be fine for you, as will many of the decent full coilover rates, i.e. PIC, H&R or Eibach.

correct me of im wrong but i heard that you cant dump you EK with a H22 swap cuz it can snap your axels?
