Default two q's

first, i have an 04 lx w/ stock focus suspension on it, i am going to put svt suspension w/ the rear bar on it, will that change my class for auto-x?

secondly, instead of doing the left foot braking, wouldnt just a good hit on the e-brake, of course modulating it, as not to fully lockup the rear end accomplish about the same thing?

a.) yes you'll change your class... no longer H-Stock cuz of the springs.. you'll lower it.

b.) no. left foot braking utilizes the stopping force of the front disc brakes... ebrake is rear drums which are not nearly as effective... don't do it.

I'm no SCCA SoloII expert... but I'd guess STS.

Yes, STS class.
e-brake is the quickest way to A: Go SLOW, and B: Prove to people that you're a Newbie.
