new owner of 03 Si, aftermarket suspension question
Mugen and Tein Basic are fairly cheap ($1K or under), ep3 specific options that seem pretty popular, if you're going the full coilover route.
Most people are just buying springs, but there aren't any aftermarket shocks out yet that are designed for the car, so keep that in mind.
Several others have Tein Flex, KW V2s. I don't know if I've heard of anyone complaining about full coilovers that they've purchased for the Si, although I have heard complaints about just springs (mainly because they can blow the stock shocks).
If you read back a few pages, you'll probably find a few threads on suspenion recommendations/reviews.

what exactly are you looking for? There are so many options, it all depends on what your going to do with your car and how much your want to spend.
Most people are just on lowering springs with stock shock because springs are cheap. Besides getting Koni inserts, there is no aftermarket company making shocks right now(still waiting on KYB and Tociko).
Springs- $150-$300
Full Coilover- $900-$3000+

i'm using tanabe df210's at the moment. ok ride. lowers 2.5 rear 2.0 front stock shocks. i'd go the tein flex way. good quality, bang for the buck. can't wait to get mine.
progress springs and sways. good ****! but the rear sway will hit all exhausts but the magnaflow inlcuding the stock.
eibach sportline springs, progress sways, neuspeed stb's, and -2° camber in the front and rear... car handles great!!! looking for dampers though... may have to settle for koni's and cutting the front struts.

It might help if you tell us what it is that you intend to do w/the car that makes changing the suspension something you want to do.
My EP is a daily commuter. I have the Mugen Sport Suspension and Type S swaybars front and rear. All I can say is that for my purpose, it's great.
