Just bought a new -15 Sparco suit from Biondo to replace my long out of date one that I had been using. Must say it is a lot lighter and feels like it's going to be cooler in the summer as well. Now I need to get new gloves and shoes to go with it. Am I reading the rules correctly that 3.3/5 is the rating needing for those? Car is naturally aspirated but no floor over the transmission

No floor automatically put you into a -15 suit. A blower will, too.
In my opinion, if you are required a -15, you may as well spend a couple more bucks about get the -20.

Thanks Greg. That was what I had read, so -5 is correct then? Just wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly before ordering the wrong stuff
