Thanks for sharing your findings Sean. As many predicted here, something was out of spec with the strut which gave the suspension some additional camber. Just didn't make sense that a car can get more negative camber with just a shock replacement if everything the same as OEM.

Just to be sure the bases are covered before we call them illegal, are there tolerances defined by OEMs that would allow a 14%~ increase in diameter while still considered to be within 'OEM spec'? 14% tolerance sounds REALLY high but just thought it was a question worth raising. I'm sure SCCA will also have an opinion on whether this variance is considered legal or not.

If determined to be illegal I wonder if Koni will have an updated model/model number or if they're going to provide a machined insert to make existing shocks legal.
