You would definitely want a "custom tuned" suspension for this swap to make it handle decently. I don't really see the appeal in the swap because of handling. They are so heavy and are taller, worse center of gravity, weight distribution, etc.

Just learning about civics, but plenty of knowledge of welding, fabbing, mechanical... ??
Otherwise I would just do a b,h, or d series build.
