So,
I guess this means, my 88 944, with 25.5 factory bar in front, and 18 in the back is zero points???
Yippie!!!!!

Gentlemen,

This was part of a forum post that leads me to believe I won't be taking points for running the same set-up as Dave Polk. Let me know what you think!

It used to be that "stock" meant "stock". Even for a particular model and year, just upgrading to one component of a factory M030 package meant taking points, for say sway bars or springs. Now it seems less obvious.

The car classification web page now says:

"Factory vs. Aftermarket Upgrades -
The half points option only applies to factory options that were available for the model series of the car."

But goes on to say:

"Sway Bar Upgrades -
Sway bar upgrades for non-adjustable sway bars within a model series are free of points. Non-adjustable sway bars from outside of your model series, or after market, are half points. Non-stock adjustable sway bars are 30 points, regardless of source."

So to be clear, I guess this means that "stock" now means any factory sway bar from any car in the model series, and we've now ELIMINATED penalty points for those (non-adjustable) sway bar upgrades, and since the 924S is now in the 944 model series, it can use ANY (non-adjustable) 944 sway bar and takes no points. This is clearly different from any earlier understanding we've had.

Has this been clarified one way or the other yet?

Mark,

We should have talked before.

This had always been my understanding. If it was a stock item for the series then its zero points, I never took points for them, but did for my springs and torsion bars

With that said I did have a moment of panic when it seemed earlier in the thread that Steve G. seemed to be saying if it didn't come on JUST the 924S then it wasn't stock. (talk about a limiting factor!) I made some calls and got clarification and indeed my previous understanding is correct.

Ahhhhhhhh, I feel much better.
Thank you Mr. Bray,
Now I can continue on my day without a care.

SOO, If a 924S is the same as a 944 then My 1989 944 is the same as a 1989 944S2
Which means I can use my 26.8 Bar No points, COOL
This will never end, Sorry Tom

As long as it isn't adjustable...
