If the internal diameter of the spacer is larger than OEM (w/crash bolt) or the location of the spacer's hole (due to fitment slop or misalignment), then you could protest it as illegal. I would guestimate that to get anywhere -1.7 or -1.9ish on the car, you would need to get about 0.5mm more than OEM. The most I was able to get on my last 2 sets of Street legal struts was about -1.3 to -1.4 depending on the alignment rack at 0 front toe.

These cars do not gain front camber from right height, so any gains are though geometry, ie mounting hole locations or size.
Best of luck trying to protest with that logic
