Default suspension setup for an ek with a H22a

I am getting a H22a after i get back from boot camp and was wondering what was the best suspension setup for the extra weight in the front. im looking for it to be a Auto X and strip car so handling is important. Ive heard good things about Tein SS's but i dont know if they will compliment the H22 very well. Also when i fixed my front end i lost about 70 lbs in the front due to a CF hood and extremely lighter parts. will that help when the H22 pushes down the extra weight? Any comments welcome.

If you really dropped 70 lbs off the front end, don't worry about it. The additional weight of the H22 isn't much more than that.

that is what i thought. I actually did lose about 70 lbs with the front end conversion because the parts i bought were aftermarket and not OEM. They were extremly light. The fenders werent as thick as stock and the radiator support weighed like 3 lbs. the bumper support weighed about 4 lbs and the bumper also weighed less. so i lost alot of weight. ill crush if i get into another accident but it helps for now.

Tein SS is defintely a good choice. The EDFC would be perfect if you can afford it, since you'll be able to have a drag specific setup at the touch of a button to help control front-rear weight transfer. You'll be in STS class at the autox anyways, so you might as well get something fully adjustable.
