Decided to seek clarification on the coilover situation with regards legality in the roadgoing class as per the Blue Book details below. I don't want to be inadvertently pulling any wool over other competitors eyes so will run in Sports Libre if needs be.
11.7.1. The suspension type and mountings must
remain the same as that fitted by the vehicle
manufacturer.
It seems that coilovers of my type are allowed as they are still spring/damper combination and are mounted to the same points as those used by the OEM setup. Apparently this rule is aimed at instances where someone may change from leaf springs to a coilover setup, at which point they would need to move to a modified class. Still awaiting final clarification on the spherical joint side but the initial response seems to be ok.
