Brake upgrade dilema
I run ASP in auto x. Stock size brake rotors, ebc pads. I want to do open track days. Only 1 FD. my question is can I upgrade to the larger 99 spec brakes and still run in ASP? Can I run anything 99 spec and still be in ASP? Where are the rules that govern upgrading to newer model year equipment? It's not like I can realistically run a 99+ FD here.

Usually you can update and backdate parts on cars that are listed together in the rules. For example 86-91 cars are considered pretty much the same car in most classes. Your problem will be the fact that the cars weren't sold here that year so the SCCA will probably not have them classified with the other FD's.
My guess is no.

Is there a way for me to submit something so that I can do this? Certainly there has to be some rich ****** auto xing a skyline or something somewhere.

Since you are running ASP you are running stock power levels. The brakes on an FD are really pretty good. I would recommend getting some good track pads, fresh brake fluid and giving it a go. I know plenty of people (myself) included who have never had problems on the stock units (as long as you have fully flushed the brake system and are using good high-temp pads).
And no, you are not allowed to backdate your FD using 96+ parts. The class is specifically for 93-95 FDs.

Again, use good pads and fresh fluid. You will overdrive your tires long before you overdrive your brakes.
