The rules should keep costs to a minimum, but I would like to see stock shocks still be an option if you cannot immediately afford the Koni/Bilstein/etc. I think there should also be one tire and size chosen for the class and perhaps try to get that tire manufacturer to support the class, even if it may not be the fastest tire brand out there.
I hate adding more classes, but I hope this class doesn't kill too much participation from DS or STX.

I'd be okay with a spec class tire, especially if it received some manufacturer support.
I don't think it would kill DS since it's such a diverse class. You'd still have the WRX, E36 M3, Turbo 'Maro, and EcoStang, among others.
STX might be tougher, since the Twins are pretty much the go-to car there. But perhaps them exiting would encourage greater participation by other platforms that tend to stay out of the class because of Twin dominance.
Although, I really don't expect too many people to de-mod STX cars to run in a spec class. I think you'd more likely see a convergence of CS/DS twins that want to upgrade a bit more without going into STX. Depending on rules, you might also see more consistent participation by HPDE focused Twins that don't do much autox since they can't really fall into any class "competitively."
