a prelude weighs a lot more than a civic.
The H series will be close to 200lbs more than your D series. Thats a lot of weight, but considering the H22As output, it will still haul plenty ass. If you're not serious about road racing or autocross, you should be OK with the handling. Just call up ground control and tell them your setup, and they'll help you decide on the proper spring rates for your car. Aside from that, good shocks and sways should be all you need for a decent handling car. It wont handle as well as a well sorted B or D series car, but it can handle pretty well if done right. Tuning is key.
