Im thinking of replacing my suit and prefer not to wear underwear. What FIA and SFI rating is required nowadays to avoid the use of underwear?

Thanks,

GCR 9.3.19.C.1. (emphasis added):

Driving suits that effectively cover the body from the neck
to the ankles and wrists. One piece suits are highly recommended.
All suits shall bear an SFI 3.2A/1 or higher certification
label or FIA 1986 Standard or FIA Standard 8856-2000
homologation label. Underwear of fire resistant material shall
be used, but is optional with suits carrying an FIA Standard
1986 Standard or FIA Standard 8856-2000 label or SFI 3-2A/5
or higher (e.g., /10, /15, /20) certification label.

Change the type of underwear and you'll likely be much more comfortable both in and out of a fire.

wear the underwear even if its not required...ask me how I know....it adds just that little bit more margin you might want some day.

If you can afford the extra cost Carbon X undies are very comfortable and add some serious protection. IMHO

Just a note: some (most?) manufacturers offer alterations and custom suits. Sparco does the alterations in the US at $75/hr. G-Forces is $60/hr. Sparco's custom suits are from Italy, add $300, and take a couple of months. G-Force has a custom suit for $800 that has a few more features than their regular suits and takes about a month.
