For the most part, stock suspension means the shocks, springs, torque arm and lower control arms all mount in the same place they did from the factory. Small diameter springs are OK and for the most part, so is moving them inward to gain tire clearance. Coil over shocks are a big no-no.

Some of it depends on where you're running at. Sometimes, the rules are a little different from race to race, but what I said before applies to almost all S/S classes.
