I know it's hypothetical, but what would you do? Just trying to get perspective.

to you too!!
I'd keep competing in the BRZ (although I would not have bought it even if that was the plan because of the weight difference, google it: 6 lbs on the '15), I bet all those quick guys bought on that information alone. They just got lucky with the TRD springs coming out, it could have easily been that Scion would not sell TRD parts or since TRD parts are 'Toyota' and not 'Scion' they're disallowed meanwhile the STI springs came out giving the BRZ an edge.

If I truly felt that the TRD springs and sways created an unfair advantage between the two cars (probably by doing what @Locust suggests with a competitor if I could find a buddy and swapping cars at a casual event) I'd probably run the TRD parts locally with a gentleman's agreement with my competitors and write a letter with the suggestion I mentioned: let the BRZ use the same parts as the FRS. Everywhere I've looked CS fields are bigger and tighter in competition than DS, I'd want to stay in CS.



Edit: Again, assuming I felt the BRZ was truly disadvantaged and my goal was really to win Nationals in my own car, I'd sell the car. Realistically I'd be waiting on tenterhooks for the ruling or finding someone with an FRS and an open co-driver's seat.
