Thats why the H2B adapter is such a good idea, its allows you to use a tranny with better gearing (i.e. a B-series).
It also allows people with b-series swaps to go H-series without having to change everything again.

and brakes... they will feel way to sloppy without an upgrade... front gsrs all the way.. i did the swap and they are incredible. except for stopping while taking a hard corner since all the braking power is up front... just do the rear disk to balance it out...

I'd get better brakes and make sure I had good shocks to go with those H&R Sport. The Sports may lower an tiny amount more with the extra weight, but its all shock to eliminate the bounce. Bounce means the shocks is under dampened or over dampened, for example stock shocks with H&R sports = under dampened. Koni Yellow on full stiff with H&R sport = way over dampened.

id like to keep my h&r's and maybe upgrade my shocks to save money but i think my h&r's are coming up on some high mileage. the ride is pretty good with just stock shocks, but i havent hit anything hard enough to break a strut. if i do i think thats when im going full coils. plus my front sags alot more than my rear, and that was just with the b16

im running skunk2 coil with stock shocks! its not bad coz skunk is pretty stiff....a little bounce to it but not to the point where you rub on humps or anything like it!!! i also upgraded my front brakes with drilled rotors and hawks pads!!! rear is still drums but everything new....
the other thing you should look at is rear sway bar!!(if you have it ignore what im saying) but it really helps a lot!! good luck with the swap!!!!

sway bars used can go for $120-$175 for a 22mm rear sway bar. Don't forget the buy subframe reinforcement in the form of atleast a Beaks kit. ASR or Comptech is much better though. Also you'll need end-links, I recommend RSX-S end-links.
The large rear sway bar is an amazing upgrade, but some caution should be taken while learning these new limits.
Nothing will aid handling like a great set of tires though...and i'm not talking cheap V or Z rated like Fuzion.
You can grab a sway bar off the classifieds section if you watch for it.
22m is from the ITR or CTR, 23mm (rare) is from the JDM ITR. Also worth noting 19mm RSX-S will work too.

thanks guys, all your help is appreciated. my next little confusion i have its rims and tires, im leaning towards 15, maybe 16's. what is a good offset for these wheels and some tires to wrap them in, my buddy has 15's, they look great but he has alot of tire on them. what do people preffer out there 15 or 16's?

I've got an EG hatch with an H22, honestly the motor isn't that much heavier than a b-series, it's like 50 pounds more, but I would recommend getting a stiff spring and shock. I'm riding on H&R Race springs with Koni reds and it's fine. As for braking power, definetly one of the first things on the list. I've got GSR brakes up front and my rear stock SI disks in the back and I have trouble stopping. I couldn't imagine what it's like with stock civic brakes and drums in the rear. So upgrading is definetly a must. as for rims don't do a crazy offset and grab a 15" tire with anywhere from (185-205)-(50-60)15R. That's a pretty ideal tire and with that motor ake sure you got sum good high performance rubber. I', running Toyo Proxies t1-S and I still spin like crazy. Especially launching anything above 2500 rpm is too high and that's using a high performance tire.
