Default H22 with my suspension setup??

Im *thinking* about maybe doing an H22 swap in my 99 EK hatch. Mainly because I want a motor that I dont have to do alot to and will still be quick. Im just worried that my suspension setup isn't stiff or extreme enough for an H22. My setup is really mild and I like it like that because its a daily driver but, it still handles great.
Tein Basic Dampers
SRR Rear 19mm Sway Bar
SRR Rear Lower Tie Bar
Do you guys think that is enough to have a decent handling H22 EK?? I dont plan on autocrossing the car or anything like that, strictly daily driver.

Thanks
chris

No way, you'll need a complete custom penske full race setup to hold that massive h22 understeer in check.

Yes, it will be fine. Even my fat coupe on stock suspension handled very well.

hey thanks for the reply.
some people make it seem like you do need a hardcore racing suspension to get your car to handle good with an H22.
