Welcome to the hatch! Yes, it is NHBP (Nighthawk Black Pearl), and usually the first mod is an intake or a drop, as fas as performance goes. A lot of people say they liked getting their suspension upgraded before the engine because you can get some fun driving in with better handling, rather than trying to make a stock EP into any kind of speed demon.

hey thanks guys! i'm pretty happy with the car i went with. i've heard the ep is a love/hate car and i love this thing! anyways i was thinkin of startin with upgrading the suspension. i did some research and i think i'm gonna go with eibach sportlines, but which shocks should i go with? the koni yellows or tokico d-specs?? is one better than the other? oh and update i just got a skunk2 billet shift knob, brand new SI floor mats (graduation gift) :), oh and some mugen tank covers and a mugen license plate frame. lol

i know everyone's gonna hate me for bumping this but WHERE ARE YOU UTAH? haha

[timbroski]

You in SLC? Im from the area, but I'm up in Anchorage, Alaska right now. I got a blue 2005 si. I'll be back down in my hometown of slc probably sometime this summer or fall. You guys have any ricer meets down there? And im thinking if you car doesn't have coils your gonna wanna put some on so you can raise it come time for winter. Mine right now is too low for the Alaska winters so I'd either have to take off the body kit or get some coils.

i think you're talking to Vboy but his post is almost 3 years old even though i think he's still active on the site nowadays. i'm in the layton area and just wanted to bump this to see if any utah members were still hanging around. i have around a 1.5" drop all the way around on my car and it does fine in the snow still. my tires are still pretty fresh though. not sure about meets around here cause there aren't many EPs but there seems to be quite a few clubrsx guys around the SLC area
