Autocross mods by class

There used to be an excellent link for allowable mods to 135i by class which is no longer active. Does anyone have another link, or have a table of mods allowed for DS, STU, BSP?

I made that, and unfortunately my hosting service had some difficulties and was cancelled unknown to me recently. PM me your e-mail and I can send it to you. I'll try and put it on a blog or something in the meantime.
It's a 2011 version, but the only significant change in 2012 is that in stock class you can now choose either front OR rear swaybar to upgrade (not both).
The other addition is the Road Tire classes, which follow Stock rules, but with Street Touring allowable tires only.

135i got bumped to ASP for SP classing for 2012, but it still DS and STU.

I think the 135i could be good in DS and STU, but very doubtful to be competitive in ASP. STU might be a bit tough against well modified AWD cars like the STI and Evo. SM is kinda nuts according to rules, but at least locally it is actually not very competitive.

Keep in mind the 1M is ASP as well which sounds reasonable at first glance. After you consider the rules a 1M and 135i both built to full SP rules are essentially the same. You can flare fenders, run about as much tire as you want (285+?), swap in an LSD, etc. Building a 135i to full SP rules would be a ton of work.

Here's the old classing guide that I found on the forum. I think it is mostly accurate besides BSP -> ASP. I got this on this forum. Not mine. I assume this is Xaeryan's work then.

Yep, that's mine - feel free to redistribute. In fact, how'd you take an image of the whole page at once, as I'll update it and do the same, then find a good location where everybody can find it.

I think I just took a screen shot. Maybe two and stitched them together?

If you have firefox there is a plugin that will capture a whole page (or selection or visible) at once or at least there used to be was called Screengrab. Looks like its not compatible with the latest version of FireFox tho.
