They're pretty much all good nowadays. I just buy the $100 ebay remote start, turbo timer, pager special. Never had any problems with them.

you should also invest in getting a detachable steering wheel.

its not all about the alarm. its the quality of the install that matters. but any alarm with a 2way pager is always a good idea!

i recommend AutoPage with at least 1 more extra sensor over the included sensor they provide.

+ detachable steering wheel is nice to have.

Pretty much anything over 100 by clifford or viper.

My friend's got a clifford on his accord, it's very sensitive, he put in the motion and tilt so it's a pain, since I always park next to it, opening my door sets off the "warning" buzzer - so does cars coming too close to his.

So everytime I'm in the mood to expletive with him I just shake his car until it sets off the real alarm so it pages him to **** him off .

Though yes, it's a very good system indeed from my "testing"

Make sure you go with tilt sensors, motion, ignition kill, backup battery and backup siren (both hidden) for optimal protection. Also, I say invest in a cheap kill switch and hide that **** someplace. They're very cheap and work very well while somebody's dicking with trying to kill the backup battery/siren and can't start the car.

be sure to get the hood sensor on there. my friend is a cop for PG county here in MD and the thieves got his b16eg twice. first time no alarm at his house, second time they at the freaking police station but no hood sensor. f-ing thieves!

Most new alarms have turbo timer option built in to them.
