Need new suspension?
im thinking (for sure when i have enough saved up) of doing an engine swap.
I have a '96 cx h/b, now would i need to upgrade my suspension to incorporate the added weight. im thinking of dropping in a b18c

any suggestions, as im gonna be using this car for driving all year round.

thx

You could use integra springs all around for the added weight of a B-series. Do this before the swap.

I would also upgrade to big brakes or do a rear disk conversion if you've got drums

If you're using H&R Sport springs, buy the SiR ones. The front springs are stiffer to compensate for the heavier motor.
