I am no expert on the class but if the front end parts are anything other than Factory Apearing the car should not be legal. As far as a safety issue. That is a load of bull. The only safety issue is created when you try to exceed that factory wheel travel to transfer weight to the rear tires to gain a competitive advantage.

Safety is a touchy subject. I understand not wanting to get in the way of safety but IMHO the S word is used too often to gain a performance advantage.

One prime example, a lot of guys are running aftermarket brake setups in the name of safety which is not a bad idea considering 40 year old brake technology. But of course all of these are super light. So why not throw a weight penalty of x amount of lbs to put on the front end when using aftermarket racing brakes? This would be extra safe and cancel the performance benefit of the "safer" component.

There are other things but not surprisingly, they all help to get the car off the line and/or down the track quicker. You don't see many people chomping at the bit to implement a safety item that slows the car down.
