Actually you are partially correct, the H22 weighs more than the F22 and it does have an effect on the understeer of the Accord. Granted you will definately notice this moreso with the lighter Hondas, but don't count out the Accord. But for the most part yes it is generally the same. The Accord did come stock with an H22 in Japan.
But as far as swapping an H22 into the Accord, trust me, you will love it.. I do. You just have to hold the steering wheel a little bit tighter other wise the torque will rip it out of your hand.. LOL I almost put mine in a ditch yesterday because I got on it, and I had a fight with the steering wheel, and I won ofcourse, but thank god I have quick reflexes otherwise my baby would be wearing bandaids..
Do the swap, you won't regret it..
