F-street is the new class you'd run, it's basically what you ran in RTR, except that was F-Stock (where race tires were legal) minus the race tires and with an index to match up with other street tire cars.
BUT, you can't have lowering springs in Street or Stock categories. You can have sticker tires, and you can have damping adjustable shocks, but have to run stock springs, at stock height, no coil-overs, etc. You can change one sway bar, front or back but not both. You can't do a lot else, if you do it's off to STU or ESP, or SM for you.

As for springs, we'd have to discuss... lots of options and what I recommend will depend a lot on what the main priority is. Weigh ride vs. stiffness vs. height with regard to where you live, how your roads are, how much you autocross or attack backroads vs. highway drive.

I enjoy attacking the backroads, am almost ready for STR's Koni has it going on. I'd like to do some track events but my brakes & rotor's need an upgrade, I run 245/45/18's. Great thread I'm learning a lot.

I thought about it for a while. In fact, I've been thinking about it since last fall. After adding up what it costs to keep tires on an s197, plus what it costs to make it turn better, I decided to trade the mustang in on a BRZ (I know, I know...) and stay in stock class. I know you sell BRZ stuff, so when I'm in the market for some shocks, I'll definitely hit you up. Thanks!

I do have FT-86 stuff (and those Koni's are in stock too... and let's just say I can do you really right on price really soon....). 
I also did a front bar for them, and the fastest ones @ Nationals last year in CS/RTR and STX were "my" cars in so far as I set them up.
