Default Koni sport in stock

There is no way I can run Koni sport shocks and CG coilovers in stock class right?
I read the rulebook about it a bunch of times but there are so many exceptions.
It says if the stock attachment points are the same its ok. It also says ride height is not an issue. I don't see how the setup will fit into stock but I thought it just might. I'm not trying to get arround the rules to gain an advantage but its just that I can't do anything to my car,except exhaust, because I want to race in stock class. It's a 91 civic DX hatch and for SCCA. Ill be prettymuch racing for fun but that doesn't mean I want to get blown away in a higher class.

Edit: It's for solo
Edit 2: Nevermind...while I was returning my movies I realized I totally disregarded the whole spring thing

So the single top adjustable is ok. How will the car run with Konis and stock springs? I would just love to be able to do something than repair jobs.
Yuba City is about an hour north of Sacramento, just up highway 99.

should be fine... you know since your not wanting to competitive... you might as well just get osme springs with your konis...and run STS...

u have no chance in a STOCK class because R comp tires can be used in stock class...

sts you can only use street tires

so will u be running with the sac chapter?

I was thinking I should just go for it. The only thing is that I kinda want to learn to drive stock then see how suspension would help out. But then again my wheel gap is pretty huge right now. Im only 17 so I have a long time ahead to think about autocross. I will be with the Sac chapter. Hopefully I will be able to start when I go to colledge in Sac next year. Next season starts in April so I have a while to go.

Sounds good. I've been looking forward to actually racing and learning how to drive. Then atleast in my hatch I can say I race in a safe, secure invironment instead of ricing around town. Good Night...

I can't wait to get out there. I was gonna go last year but it fell through. You can laugh at me if you want.
And I've decided to go stock for a bunch of events, then upgrade after I kinda know what I'm doing.

Don't worry about how you gonna do or what your time is. Just get out there and drive the best you can.

Stock car are always fun.

I've read "race stock then upgrade" about a million times here. I believe it.
