What auto cross class am I in?

I am having trouble pin pointing my class in auto cross and no one I personally know is exact either. Maybe I'm in BSP? Hope this isn't posted in the wrong place. Be easy on me lol.

Car is a evo IX MR.
Stock billistein shocks and springs.
Stock camber Plates and rear control arms.
245 wide summer tires
Apr 3 point front strut brace.
Injen 3 point rear strut brace.
6 point under body brace
Factory sway bars with upgraded bushings.
Poly motor mounts
3" Catless exhaust
KN intake
Front wind splitter
Whiteline lower ball joints and tie rod ends
S1 cams
Valve springs and retainers
Battery in trunk
Tuned to 29PSI on 93
Lower and upper IC piping (stock fmic)
Samco radiator hoses
Stage 2 exedy clutch.

That's really it. Assume anything I did not mention is stock

Thanks for any replies

Yeah, get rid of the body braces, they are useless. Then as stated, you'd be in SM. You'll have a tough time being competitive with 245 tires especially if everyone else is using Hoosier A6.

That's the problem with building a car to the way you like it then attempt to use it in autox.

SM all day. Remove the body braces and aero parts and get into BSP for more comption. SM is an extreamly competitive class. Also, buy a rule book, they're only like 17$ or something like that with SCCA.

SM can be tough. If you don't have much experience w/ AutoX, use the first season to learn as much as you can. Forget about whatever class you're in and just be a sponge. Don't change your setup until you're comfortable. It took me a year on street tires before I uppeed my power and changed to slicks. The following year, I won SM in my region.

Good luck.
