Normally I'd agree with that too, the GSR's going to be a nicer car but, I suspect it's more of a theft target too. The EK/EJ has a better suspension all around. If you're planning on tracking it, I'd get the SI.
Before you guys bitch, I like the mounting of the front upper control arms better on the EK, the rear LCA's are longer so, there should be less camber change when cornering and the front LCA's have better bushings and a larger/stronger complaince bushing.

Also to go with what MasterKwan said the em1 would also cost less for insurance do to the fact that its a Honda not a Acura. I am not sure if it is the same for your insurance, but thats what made me choose the em1. After I got my Si the first thing I did was swap in a B18c.

Si are more targeted by thieves, around where i am located otherwise. The GSR is the better platform all around, motor and suspension wise right out the box. IMO it looks better also.

Wat u think about a h22 in the ej?</TD></TR></TABLE>
I have always liked the H22, but with the mounts, axels and linkage I think you will end up paying more than the B18c. I would like to have either of those in my EJ1. In the end it is really all up to you. Just make sure you do the research on the H22. I think there are a lot of additional costs.
