Depends on what else you have done to your car, but if the springs are the only modification, it looks like you'd end up in BSP.
If you're a serious SCCA Solo competitor, you probably already know this and know that it takes a lot more than a set of lowering springs to build a class winning car. You might consider staying stock.
If you're not a contender, don't sweat what class you're going to be in! Run what you brung, enjoy your car and have a good time!

Yeah I stayed stock with the Z for a whole season before moving to Korea. My experience with BSP is that there are some sick cars and drivers competing.

As far as mods, I have the Stillen Gen 3 intake and catback waiting for me when I return to the states. Whatever class I'm in I'll have fun even if I'm in dead last.

You should be warned that Stock class is pretty intense at the National level and the talent is abundant and the cars aren't really stock at all.
I did an "arrive and drive" at the 2000 SCCA Solo II Nationals in a 1998 Acura Integra Type R that had won the National Championship the year before. It was prepared with re-worked shock absorbers, a wild alignment, different sized tires front and rear, a cat-back and any other thing that could be adjusted or modified and still stay within SCCA Stock class according to the rules!
Stock? Yeah, right!

Any updates on the Nismo Swift install?

How much of a drop can we expect on the Nismo with the swift springs?
If one were to put 20" wheels with the Swift springs, what would the ideal front offset be?
