I was reading that... and emailed the AFM guys.
They said the intention was to prevent changing the suspension geometry, and since I am still using the stock rocker and stock dogbones, just replacing the rear shock, its allowable to space the linkage to clear the spring. So hopefully they dont hassle me, and if other racers bring it up, I'll explain that its still stock linkage geometry, just spaced apart to clear the new spring, changing nothing!
Yeah I'm aware my wiring isn't up to NASM 33540, but I did measure the minimum material sidewall requirement that it specifies (I work in aerospace also) and technically I should be alright. They didn't specify to wire per that spec, so I just did the best job I could without going nuts and having to disassemble everything!
I only weigh 150 lbs, so I'm pretty sure this rear shock & spring will be stiff enough! I've already found it to be a little too stiff for the street right now, but going to the track on friday to test it out!
