Thanks

Stock Class Category G for a 1995 Acura Integra GS-R
1.1 Bodywork
I can't have anything like aftermarket wings, sideskirts, lips, bumpers, rear bumpers, sideskirts, etc.?

Correct


1.2 Tires
Tires are run on 195/55VR15 Yokohama ESV 100 Tires
1.3 Wheels
Wheels have to be stock size running on 195/55VR15 size tires?
1.4 Shock Absorbers
Aftermarket shock absorbers may be used as long as they cannot have more than two adjustment settings...does this mean that I cannot use coilovers because you can adjust three settings on them. Basically I have to run a stock shock absorber system?


No you can not run coilovers in stock class because of the springs. In stock class, you cannot change the springs.



1.5 Brakes
Stock brake system but, aftermarket pads may be used.

correct, as well as any brake fluid.


1.6 Sway Bars
Stock rear and front sway bars?

correct. you can change or even remove the front sway but you cannot change or add/remove/disconnect the rear way.


1.7 Suspension
Stock suspension system no modification?
1.8 Electrical
Stock electrical system...no messing with the ECU?
1.9 Engine and Drive Train
-Will replace stock air filter with K&N Filter
-You cannot port and polish the head?

Nope


-Aftermarket exhaust can be applied from the catalytic converter down?

yep

-What are water expansion and oil catch tanks?

expansion tank is for your radiator (should already have one), oil catch you shouldn't have to worry unless you are boosted, if you are you wont be in stock class anyways.


-What are scattershields?
-What are silicone hose replacements?

For the body work, what if it was a factory option (like the factory spoiler)
Also in the vein of bodywork, how about things like modded head lights (ie DIY CTR or something like that) or factory option fog lights?

For brakes, how about changing rotors (ie if I put Brembo blanks with upgraded pads)?

Last thing I was curious abou is how short shifters fit into the picture?

Thanks.
