My records show that I got my bars in May of 2015. I got them shortly after he announced that the bars for the older cars were available again. So spring of 15 is my best guess.
You said you have an 82 (Euro S, which is pretty cool, but doesn't matter for this). You need 'early car' bars. Either the original production with the curved bar, or new production. As noted below, you can get in touch with Ken and he will make sure you get the right ones (even if you don't buy new ones - he's pretty nice about it).
Perhaps a bit pedantic, but my understanding is that the S4 'goodies' were on all 86 RoW (Euro). So all 86 Euros are '86.5 spec'. US market cars are the only ones that have 'early' jackpoints (and suspension, brakes & exhaust) in 86 MY (VIN below 1000).

Scott - from your avatar, it looks like you have a Euro. I don't know what year it is. In 86.5 US spec, the jack points changed, and then stayed the same through the end of the run (and were the same points used on the 986/987/996/997). There are two types - the early bars, for 928's only, from 77 to 86, then the modern bars, for 86.5 forward. What I do not know is whether the Euro jack points changed from the old style before the S4 came out. I suspect all Euro cars through 1986 have the same jack points (there is no such thing as an 86.5 Euro car). You need to verify with Ken - call him or send him an email.

Thanks and after the vin decode it became even cooler...
There were 677 1982 Euro S 5-speeds. Only 146 had the LSD. Only 62 of those did not have a sunroof. Only 8 of those had the optional Bamberg QTS radio. And 4 of those had the C99 country code. I'd say that's a pretty unusual and desirable 928.
1982
C99 - Country Code: "Special"
M28.11 - engine serial # range 82 C 0001>5000
G28.05 - transmission serial # range 11C 0001>9999
M058 - "Impact absorbers front and rear, Bumper with shock absorber instead of
shock absorber-tube"
I126 - Blaupunkt Bamberg QTS Cassette radio 7 639 545 110 (digital) with ARI (Autofahrer-Rundfunk-Informationssystem)
M220 - Limited Slip Differential, 40%
M438 - 6-way Comfort seat right, electrically adjustable, 78-84
I455 - Wheel locks
M533 - Alarm

Bottom line: if you have an ‘86 roll underneath and look or get the one-size-fits-all.
Hey @PorKen ? Wanna make some Macan lift bars? (Stupid Audi unibody...)

The ‘early’ lift points apply to 77-85 RoW and 77-86.5 N.A. As far as know.

"Later" is 86.5-95 US and 86-95 Euro.
Again, all Euro 86MY cars are '86.5' configuration with the S4 jackpoints, brakes, suspension and exhaust. US cars are the only ones with a '86' configuration and an '86.5' configuration. (maybe it's a bit clearer without the parenthetical phrases in the middle).
There has been a comment on FB that there are 86 Euros with the early configuration, but that goes against everything I've read on here.

No. Not even close. I'm not sure how you are reading it that way. See below.
^This. "Early" is 78-86 US and 78-85 Euro.
