Short answer - nobody in Aus builds or sells frames for Hondas.
There is no 'best' kit for a vtec conversion otherwise everyone would have the same one.
You need to talk to an engineer and discuss with them which way would be the best for you and them to be happy.
I'd suggest starting with looking at an Allspeed kit out of the UK. There are others out there like Minitec and Watsons but the Allspeed maintains the cars original suspension / wheel track which is usually a biggie out here. They can also sell you driveshafts and alternator mounts.
Combine those parts with a clubman and a B16 engine and you'll be rollin in no time.
Note that the MiniTec/Superfast minis one can be made to suit the Aussie track requirements.
Edit: text from an email I received in 2013 when I was last looking at the cost.
""""Hi Nicholas,
I’m not sure of all of the requirements of AU, but I do know that my AU customers always have to keep the track width within 25mm of the original. We can accommodate that.
Thanks,
