2. Sport Category - Springs

Sport Category allows any factory spring from your car, option package for street use from the same generation and factory accessory catalog springs meant for street use - along with commonly available lowering kits.

As with shocks, we have limited you to lowering kits you can find at the Tire Rack which meet those descriptions. You don't have to buy it from there, but if it's there and is a simple lowering kit, chances are you're good to go.

If there is a lowering kit you really want that isn't available there, and meets the intent of the rules - you can check our "Alternate Approved Springs" list, or use the "contact us" page to request a lowering kit get approved.

Sport Category Springs - Full Rules

A set of springs or "Lowering Kit" may be substituted providing that the number, type, system of attachment and attachment points are not altered, except as noted below:

1. The set of springs/lowering kit may be OE from the same model and generation car.

2. The set of springs/lowering kit may be from the manufacturer’s accessory catalog.

3. Any other allowed set of springs or lowering kit must be commonly available (or have been available) at SCCA supporting partner Tire Rack, for regular retail sales and without custom order.

A. Parts do not have to be sourced from Tire Rack, but they must be as they would have come off the shelf from there, or the set of springs must be on a specific approval list.

B. If you believe there is a commonly available retail unit which otherwise fits the intent of these Rules but is not available at Tire Rack you may write in for specific approval of that brand and model.
