I would guess that it's "free" as long as you don't change the angle of the
strut in relation to a stock strut. Changing the angle could gain one more
camber or castor and that wouldn't be in the spirit of parity that the SCCA
is trying to promote. Since a McPherson strut is the suspension locating
member I'd be loathe to change any of it's parameters in the Stock Class
lest I incur the wrath of a protest committee.
Why, what's your quandary?

Is the bracket which attaches the bottom of a MacPherson-type strut to
the carrier part of the "strut", and by extension free ( well, subject
to 13.5 ) in Stock? Anyone care to take a stab at what, exactly,
"dimensional characteristics" of the shock refers to?
My factory service manual refers to the whole assembly as a "shock
absorber", which would seem to indicate, "Yes".
( Not trying to cheat, on the contrary, I'm trying to be legal. )
Thanks in advance.
