Default PROS/CONS of h22 swap in 5th gen civic

ok ive been doing a little research and found that the h22 is the stronger motor, and more affordable than getting a b18c swap.

now the problems i hear about doing this swap is all about the UNDERSTEER. is there a way to aviod this problem? will i have chassis problems because of the weight of the motor? another thing i hear is that the axles break. thanks to a local shop, i dont really have to worry about breaking axles all the time because mine will come with a lifetime warrenty...plus i plan to keep the motor completely stock. after seeing the dyno charts, a stock h22a is still superior than a b18c with many bolt ons.

is there anybody with experience out there that can tell me why they regret getting the swap??? TIA
