Default best online vendors

any reccomendations for places to buy parts for the Si online? There are TONS of "import" places out there - but I am looking for something with easy to use online ordering and trustworthy service...

thanks!

-Ross

also - I'm specifically looking for chassis braces (STB, sways, X-brace etc.). , Eibach pro-kit springs, a non-ricey exhaust, shifter bushings, and a short ram...

and excuse my ignorance but is EP3 just a chassis code?

Showsstoppers USA is a big supporter (of ephatch.com, an Si-geared site) and I've always
heard good things about them.

I've been plenty happy with wiredspeed.com (a honda-tech vendor). I also usually go for
used stuff...

EP3 is just a chassis code.

Wiredspeedlab is awesome, but they don't have much Si stuff.

Showstoppersusa has a bunch of Si stuff, and usually have the best prices. They do have downfalls though...orders usually take forever to be sent out, and often the wrong parts get sent out.

What makes something the best in your eyes?

Everybody threw out a bunch of names and sites, but only few people really said why.

mike @ ips racing
dave @ r and d motorsports
jack @ p1 automotive

jack @ P1 AUTOMOTIVE if you can get to his shop, you can buy the parts, have them installed and dyno tuned in the same day.

all of these guys are great to deal with.

i am sure there are others on this board also, i have just dealt with these guys.

They've got real good prices, and a wide selection of parts. I haven't had any problems with them not shipping my order on time, or shipping the wrong parts. They always seem to have parts in stock. Happy sunshine?

We do have a lot of the Si stuff, just not everything is online (YET). Give us a call if you need something and do not see it.

I can't use IM (becasue i an a trial user still?) Anyway - wy wife ordered 3 suspension pieces from you on the 14th and they were delivered today - but the box was completely destroyed and only had one piece in it. UPS reported it as damaged and took it back with them. What do I do now? please email me at ross@downforce.net as soon as you can.
