As for points on sways and springs I think .25 pts. is fair for a set of springs and .125 for each sway bar modified or changed and no penalty for removal of sway bar. Or else no points added for both the springs or sways.

No one is being negative, but if rules change and a mod becomes "useless" then that's the inherent risk you take when you make mods to the car. Yes, those with a larger budget can afford to soak up losses, but it's all the same.
It's the same as if you ordered some custom wheels or painted the car or any other thing that takes time between payment, and "completion" of the item/service's function. Who knows, if the rules never changed but your car was totaled by a tornado in Los Angeles, will you sit there and complain about "lost" mods?
My point is, none of these rule changes are made to exclude anyone. If you feel you are left out but have justification for the old points system, let us know. But keep in mind several things:
- modifying sway bars + the impact of sway bar improvements w/ spring/coilover vs just sway bars by themselves
- supporting information (or just a really well thought out argument with proper premise and without fallacy/holes in your statement)
- Use my "submission form" for proposed rule changes:

Beyond that, keep in mind this is an informal competition meant to encourage owners to take their cars out to the track and have fun. None of us have any financial interest in this, and we are most certainly not paid nor compensated. I don't care what class I am in, I just want track times and reach personal goals laptime-wise. If I get a trophy or place at some point, that's just icing on the cake.
