Hi everybody - I am building up my 2013 FR-S for D Street and I have a question regarding the use of Koni front replacement struts. The question relates to whether I should use Koni's complete replacement struts or the inserts. I have a good understanding of what needs to be done to use the inserts and I don't have a problem with going that route if it is best, but for the sake of convenience I am considering using the complete replacement strut if it can be done legally under D Street class specifications.

The issue is (of course) that I understand that the locating holes are bigger on the Koni complete units allowing a greater camber adjustment, particularly if using the 14mm crash bolts.

Is it legal to use the Koni complete units and the 14mm crash bolts if the camber is set within the limits that would otherwise be legal?

If I really want to use the Koni units (i.e., not inserts) what is the best course of action to stay legal within the Street classes?

Thank you.
