You guys have to try autocrossing. If you like driving hard on the street this is 100% safer and competitive at the same time

this weekend I'm going on my first road course. I would love to try the cones but would hate to ruin my body kit trying to be an animal.

So instead of hitting a cone and maybe getting a cone mark (I autocrossed with my body kit and didn't crack it) or doing a road course and loosing it into a turn and destroy your body kit AND car.

yes yes I know it sounds pretty dumb. I wouldn't be pushing it to hard this weekend anyway. I just got the ssr'son and I'm not used to how sticky these wide ass tires are.

I'm not to sure how often they have autocross out here anyway. I'm honestly gonna check into it though.

What suspension mods bump you classes? Also would I have si's and gsr's in a class with my dx?

you can have tie bars/strut bars, shocks(any kind), brake pads, prolly brake lines w/out getting bumped up. If you have springs, sway bars or intake/exhaust or any of that shiat you will prolly race ST. If you race stock, your DX prolly wont be in the same category as gsr's or si's. ST, it could be.

You need to get your facts straight before you post. It bugs me ALOT when people give misinformation.

For stock class you are allowed:
aftermarket shocks - same height as stock
DOT racing tires on stock sized wheels
K&N filter element replacement
rotors - OEM sized and look
brake pads
any fluid
front sway bar
roll cage
4 or 5 point harness
spark plugs
spark plug wires
cat back exhaust

So your body kit already bumps you out of stock as your wheels too.

Your car would be in my class STS with:
any body kits (no carbon fiber replacement panels including hoods)
cat back exhaust
headers
intake
springs
coilovers
shocks
sway bars
tie bars
camber plates
wheels up to 7.5" wide
tires up to 225 wide and more than 140 treadwear
aftermarket reclinable seats
pedals
shift knob
short shifter
pulleys
rotors any as long as stock sized
brake pads
stainless steel lines
suspension bushings
NO TRANNY WORK (LSD, ratio changes)
NO INTERNAL ENGINE WORK (cams, cam gears, etc..)
Interior must remain intact
