If I was to take a stab at it...

17x8 Wheels, +- 5mm offset with a min weight the wheel must weigh
Eibach Springs/Swaybars
Sealed Koni Yellows - Dyno'd to maintain spec standards
Camber Bolts
RCAs
200tw Tire, later to be one spec manufacture
Even that can be gamed. Spec dampers are virtually impossible to enforce, and can be designed to "degrade differently" if you know what I mean.

Custom wheels can be made to meet a minimum weight while minimizing inertia.

Without a hard spec part that is common, you cannot eliminate the spenders. Even then, there's always the guy that will show up with sticker tires to every event.
