Shocks
My local shop said it would be cheaper if i get the KYB adjustable shocks in the front and the non adjustable for the back. He said i dont need to get adjustable for the rear but i do need them for the front cause its heavier with the prelude motor. Should i go this route or get all adjustable, front and rear?
Depends on your springs I believe. If yopu run a high spring rate you want to be able to adjust for comfort. Also when racing adjustments make a big difference, especially when corner weighting the car. I would get all 4.
Im running KYB AGX all around with skunk2 coilovers.. i didnt think that the rear shocks would make much difference, but they did.. the fronts are four way adjustable, and the rears are 8 way.. i made the rear a bit firmer to give a little more oversteer.. they feel great.. anyway hope this helps...
Don't skimp on suspension man, it's not the place to save money.
Save money by not buying custom paint jobs, big-*** wings, 20 inch wheels, altezzas, etc.

Why does everyone think the H22 is so heavy? After the whole H22 into the EG/EK articles starting popping up and mount kits made available people suddenly assume the H22 weighs as much as a big block. Compared to a d15 it is drastically heavier, but if i remember right its only 40lbs more than the F22.
Nick is exactly right. If you are truly worried about weight then you would probably be getting your car corner weighted and stripping the interior. Having an H22 will not mean much in dead weight on the springs and shocks.
Now the added horsepoweer and torque will have an overall effect on your setup because of higher speeds, downforce, etc. The point of adjustability in shocks/struts is for handling. the most common adjustable shocks, like the KYB's, are damper adjustable only, effecting how the car reacts under pressure. Fully adjustable shocks effect how the car reacts before the prsure is applied and how it is.
If you do not understand these concepts maybe the best thing to do is more research on suspension setups. I am glad this question was asked becuase it is a common problem that import enthusiast's buy parts not knowing what they do for their car.
If you be more specific about your intentions for the car, driving style and other setups a more detailed response about what might be optimal for you to look at could be assessed.

I went with the EIBACH Pro-kits and all 4 KYB AGX.
It just wasn't worth it to save $40 bucks.I love the ride.but I don't have an H22 yet.
