I'm looking at the 2002 rule book (can't find my 2003).

You can use any shock useing stock mounting points and mounting system. No more than two external damping adjustments. Suspension geometry and range of travel may NOT be altered from stock.

Front sway bar can be removed or replaced. You can NOT do anything to the REAR sway bar. You can use any bushings on the FRONT sway bar that you want.

Everything else in the suspension must remain stock.

Cat back exhaust can be changed but be careful of local noise restrictions.

Wheels must be stock diameter and width and =/- .25" offset from stock.

You can use any brake pads, oil and grease that you want.

That is about all you can do to the car and run stock class.

Good luck and HAVE FUN!!!!!




Spark plugs (don't bother), and Magnecor plug wires (good for a small boost), and a K&N drop-in filter in the standard intake housing.

Oh, and any DOT approved tire of any size that will fit on your rims and not rub on your fender. So, low-profile, sticky DOT-approved "race" tires like Hoosiers...
