Springs & Shocks
What do you think I should get as far as springs and shocks go?? I would like to lower it, but I don't know how much. I'd like it to sit low enough to where I could still put a body kit on and not worry about scraping over RR tracks and so on. Also would want somewhat of a smooth ride not to worried about that though.

What kind of engine should I swap with?? (I was choosing between H22 and B16)
Also what's the difference between H22a 92-95 & H22a 97+ and the difference between B16A G2 92-95 & B16A 96+
Should the B18c be included in my decision also??

as far as springs/shocks.....
go with a coilover setup like ground control or skunk 2 paired with AGX or tokicos. u can adjust the height to ur preference.
what kinda car do u have? that will have a major decision on what type of motor u may swap in to avoid OBD conversions

u need to search man. cant ask 20 q's in one thread when each of them could be answered via search button. but, i like my tokico illuminas with tokico springs. ill be upgrading though possibly this winter to a full customized coilover setup with custom spring rates, it really depends on what ur doing with the car, im take my car to the local road course as often as possible and i need something that will suit my driving a little better

On springs and shocks I was thinking about $300-$500??
On engine I don't care (I'll save up as much as I need, I'm not going to do something I'll regret in the future on something that big) but I was just wondering why everyone is getting a B16 instead of a H22?? I was thinking about $3000-$5000??

um..ur not gonna get anything decent for $300-$500 on a spring shock combo dude.
a b16a2 would be a easy swap. did the same to my ex.
you wouldnt be disappointed with a $5000 budget to piece together a b16 and turbo kit
