Default 96-99 Civic Hatch for IT??

I have been pondering how the 96-99 ish civic hatch would fit into IT classes. From the limited research I have done, engine looks to be same (or very close) to 88-91 CRX/Civic SI, weight seems to be slightly heavier in stock condition, 5 speed trans, disc brakes in front (need to research size) with drums in the rear, similar suspension setup.

Based on this, I would think ITA or maybe ITB. Anyone have any ideas on where this may fit? Anyone know of anyone running one currently although I do not think it is classed by SCCA.

Thanks

The 92-95 and 96+ EX is in A - or will be when the dust settles. The 92-95 Si is headed the same way, once someone gets the paperwork taken care of.

The 92-95 CX hatch is in C. The DX of the same generation is in A but is misclassified in my opinion. I don't know if anyone has requested that it be moved but it's a good candidate.

It's my understanding that the later HB is essentially the same as the earlier DX so, without any real scientific comparison, it seems like it should find a home in ITB.
