I will admit that it appears they may be legal now, but continuing to allow them (in CS) in my opinion is not best for the sport
We'll see how it shakes out at the end of the year. Most people don't think these parts automatically transform the car into a class winner. The real issues with the car in CS are the gearing and the torque dip which this doesn't fix.

There is no current rule to say "cars with this line-item accessory installed are in BS." They would have to move all FR-S models to BS unless a new rule is proposed like one saying "options from a manufacturer's performance division are not legal."

The SAC/SEB hates these "trunk kit" options so I would not be surprised to see something come out of this, unless the springs/swaybars end up making no real difference and the RX-8/MX-5 still beat down the twins.
