Default Accord CD9 wagon classification...

With coilovers, big brakes, r-compounds, swaybars, strut bars, full exhaust... STS/STX?... or could I get away with GS?


Add to that a turbo kit, and I'm automatically in SM? If so, that's bad... I know SM is a CRAZY class to be competitive in...

GS, and Any ST class no way.

Suspension mods put you out of stock, and R compounts take you out of any ST class.

I'm thinking its a FSP car if its without a turbo or swap

Big brakes + race tires put you in SM. Since you don't have a car yet judging by your signature, why not just stay in Stock? You have the same no-chance-of-competing-ever in any class, so you might as well stick with the cheapest one to run in.

I forgot to preface my question with the fact that I've been autoXing competitively for the past 5 years... but always in RX-7's... new to the Honda game.

If you've been autocrossing for 5 years you should know by now that buying a big brake kit for autocross is overkill and a waste of money.

If you want to build a car to be competitive in some class in autox, don't mod the wagon you are looking at. If you want to build the car you want and want to have fun at an autox, have fun but don't be surprised if it's not really competitive in whatever class you end up in.

The accord is probably not the best autocrosser out there, but I did well enough in mine to make a racecar out of it. The wagon only weighs 30-40# more than the coupe.
