i raised my coilovers
What coilovers do you use? I will be doing this swap and I want to redo my suspension to handle the added weight of the H22. I was thinking of getting KYB AGX shocks but I'm not sure what coilovers to get. 96 civic ex coupe.

i have some skunkworks coilovers for an integra. (even though they say integ and civic is the same.. someone told me the integ's are a lil thicker/stiffer) work good.. kinda bouncy though..

i wouldn't expect it to handle any worse than a b20 in a civic.

i don't think so, seeing how when people mention putting a b20 in a civic, they never talk about how the handling might be.

cause a h22 is only .2 liters more, although civic's do start out with 1.6l from the factory.
