front suspension

[niemo435]

Hello everyone, question...Im assuming the H22 im installing is heavier than the F. Is this gonna cause any major issues with the front springs, should I go stiffer? I am running Ground control adjustable coliovers, stock shocks( will be changing those!), i was thinking i may have to raise it alittle. what do you guys think?

it really shouldnt be that much hevier, baybe like 40-50 lbs, but I doubt it

I am running all stock suspension on the accord with the H22 and never noticed a different.

you might have to do something to the rear but it should be all fine. my friend hasnt done anything yet or had any problems

actually my car has coilovers and lowering springs if you're talkin about me... run the same with it set like 1/2 an inch lower than stock and you will be fine... a friend of mine said he tried with the stock suspension and they blew out so don't do that.

having a H22 in your car is just like having a 12 your old kid riding with you in the front all the time. So i would say yes, but not noticeable.

Your going to want to be able to take turns with all the added HP, i mean most people drop their car.

when i swapped mine there was no diff. in ride height so i dont think u have anything to worry about just suggest u get shocks u might wont to raise it a little cause i believe the downpipe hangs a little lower i know i bent mine

Yeah, suspension isn't necessary for the swap. But if you want the power, you'll love the car after a good suspension. Transforms it.

As mentioned only a weight gain of like 50ish pounds. Probably less.

If you really cared just batt. relocate to trunk, cf hood, and like drop a few more pounds in teh front and well you're almost back to normal. Normal + 60hp.

Its not heavier...Its about the same as an F. Why does everyone think this? Its only 80 lbs if not a little more heavier than a D series. Thats not much weight for the suspension anyway unless your shit is blown.

move the full size battery to the trunk = save 40 pounds right there.

ditch P/s, a/c and brackets = another 40 lbs right there.

The H22 block is light as anything. I can lift a bare block with one hand. The head weighs more than an F22A head, and the transmissions are about the same. The weight difference is probably no more than 20lbs, if that.

Putting 20lbs in the FRONT of your car is different than having it in the passenger seat... but it won't make that much of a difference. I never noticed any handling differences with my swap, and I was on stock suspension for a year as well.

Darn it, you're right. I was thinking about J series vs. H series.

If it's about 20lbs heavier, throw on a carbon fiber hood. Problem solved.
