Hey guys I still cant figure out what class i'd fall into ... either sts or dsp or even str (or did they change that to stx)
I have the stock tires and wheels... with the following.. tein, upper strut and lower front chassis braces, and the hotchkis anti-roll bars.
I think this puts me in STS
now with 2 point rear strut i should still be STS, with 3 does it switch to DSP?
and with tires.. which tires would get me out of STS and into DSP

First: STR does not exist any more. It is gone, it has been eliminated.
A new class, STX is for STS cars that have limited slip differentials, and the displacement limits are bumped up a bit (the ITR, WRX, IS300 with LSD, Celica GTS with LSD, etc) are all cars that fit this NEW class.
Otherwise, it uses the STS rules (street tires, etc).
Your mods do not allow you to run in stock class. You have 2 choices, DSP or STS (actually more, you could also run DM, EM, and some sort of prepared class, but we will stick to the two relevant ones, STS and DSP).
None of your mods (as listed) keep you from running STS. A 3 point rear brace would not be legal in STS or DSP.
A LSD would get you kicked out of STS.
STS has a MAX wheel width of 7.5 inches and a MAX tire width of 225 mm. Anything smaller is OK (stock wheels and tires are OK). The tires ahve to have a DOT treadwear rating of 140 or greater.
Wheels and tires that do not fit the above requirements will move you out of STS (probably to DSP).
