What class should 3rd and 4th generation Camaros be in with modified suspension including bigger sway bars running on street tires?

Define, what, EXACTLY, was done.

In other words, likely it is an SM, ESP or STU legal car...but I've learned not to assume Wink

. Lots of seemingly innocent things that you can do that bump it beyond those classes (i.e. to CP or more).

This question is for my buddy Larry who you have seen driving his red IROC convertible and red 98 hardtop. He has 9" rear ends and full roll cages in both along with Spohn suspension upgrades underneath. The engines have been lightly modified and are both normally aspirated and both cars are smog and street legal drivers. I guess I need to find some documentation on the classes, I know I was told to run SM and am getting killed out there while having lots of fun! Smile

9" rear end = minimum of SM. And that is only if it uses the stock suspension pick-up points. If not, then it is a CP car.

Similarly, DEFINE "Spohn suspension upgrades". Just bolt in suspension parts (fine for SM), OR a front K-member swap? If the latter, then on to CP (not SM eligible).

Like I said, DEFINE EXACTLY what was done. You're close but not there yet Wink

And he's on street tires, so T2-OSP is one class that he is
definitely allowed in, and will do better there, than against
anyone running SM/CP/OSP

But keep in mind in an indexed class like T2, it is WELL worth your while to figure out what the car is legal for. As in, if it is SM-legal (which it might be) it gets a softer index running T2-SM than running T2-OSP.
