Default h22 suspension

Let's assume that I get the h22 dropped into an eg and that the car has a stock suspension. When everyone says it handles horribly...does that mean it's "unsafe" on the streets.....or that you just get more understeer.

BTW, any recommendations for a good susp. setup? Thanks.

just get huge amounts of understeer do to the extra weight... Car is terribly off balance, like 75/25 weight distribution..

its not really that bad, damn everyone makes it out to be so bad...have u ever realy driven one?!?!?

I have driven one at Laguna!!!! Its very nice!!!!

Just get some stiffer than normal springs up front and some adjustble shocks, and u will be fine. Its not that bad, don't worry!

Thanks for the reply guys. I have no doubt that the understeer problem can be fixed by a stiffer suspension....my real worry was that when I get the swap done...the car's suspension will still be stock....until i can scrape up enough for springs, shocks, etc.
