If the Konis full replacements are based on exact OEM specifications, then they should provide the same amount of camber as the OEM part. If the amount of camber does differ from the OEM strut, then something is different about the Konis which raises questions about their legality.
As it stands, it is premature to call them illegal and I don't expect a protest to hold up without some type of proof that they differ from OEM specs. He said he is going to acquire a strut and test it himself and I'm looking forward to what he finds out. It would be beneficial to the community to understand what parts are legal and what are not.

I'm not a Koni engineer, but I went right to the NA Motorsports Manager for Koni to ask because I wanted to be legal. He certainly wants any proof of information on variances.
Then KS Cone Killer posted his measurements.
Then I got mine and measured them and they were identical to OEM.
So yes, he is threadcrapping. The preponderance of evidence is that the yellows are dimensionally identical to OEM. The circumstantial evidence doesn't override the hard data.
If someone knows something concrete, I want to know before I drive from NJ to Lincoln, but based on my calipers, other people's measurements, and a conversation with the guy at Koni that personally bought the OEM struts that's they replicated to build the yellows, I'm comfortable.
Conjecture and speculation contradictory to evidence is not compelling. It's crapping.
