How does your rear strut tower brace connect?

Is it a single bar going from the top of one to the top of another or is it a crossbrace?

Single bar across that connects to the top edge of the tower. Same you see on most Contours.

Looks like an STX car to me assuming you are running street tires (140+ treadwear) no greater than 245mm and 8" wide or less wheels.

Yea Eagle F1's. Has intake and exhaust too. Doubt that matters.

As long as the exhaust has a cat no more than 6" back from the orginal last cat you should be good.

His brakes aren't stock calipers. Doesn't that bump him?

Yes to STX same place the Quaife put him.

14.11.A.7. Brake rotors may be replaced with any rotor of equal or larger diameter made from a ferrous or aluminum alloy. Calipers are unrestricted, but must mount to the original attachment points. Drum brakes may be replaced with disk brakes of a diameter equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the standard drum part. Brake backing plates (dust shields) may be modified the minimum amount necessary to accommodate allowed alternate rotors and calipers.

Huh, interesting. Isn't there a class that allows different brackets/rotors, but stock calipers? I thought that was the STX rule.

What class will my svt be in? If my tires and wheels get here next week, there is an event I'm going to take it to.

It has intake, exhaust, struts, springs, rear sway bar, stazi end links, and rstb. I'm pretty sure all of that is prepared legal. And running on victoracers (hence why I'm looking at prepared classes). Though I think even just the end links would put it out of STS.

I'm thinking DSP, am I right?
