From the NASA TT Ruleset:
Non-OEM shocks/struts/dampers with a “Piggy Back” external reservoir (fixed reservoir without a connecting hose) OR with shaft diameter 40mm or greater —must still take additional points for the springs below +7
^^ That notes shaft diameter. I think what most people list is the piston length. I'd ask somebody that's 100% on this though!

Pssh. Want to be my main sponsor and pay for...everything? I might be competitive in TTU then.

+5 : Forced Induction
+10 : BFG R1/Hoosier R6
-4 : 245mm tires
+2 : Exhaust
+1 : High-flow cat/test pipe
+3 : Non-OEM shocks
+2 : Non-OEM springs
+2 : Front anti-roll bar
-----------------------------------
+21
Looks like I'll need to put back the stock front anti-roll bar if I'm going to run good R-comps in TTB. And that's a b*tch to swap out

I tried to get it off w/o undoing the rear control arm or whatever but I couldn't maneuver it correctly. But I was pretty much planning on re-aligning my car before the season starting anyway - so think about it like that!
Btw, if you have a good set of coilovers, you CAN get the car to rotate with the stock RSB. Trust me...

I've been running without a RSB so far and I'm actually pretty happy with how the car rotates. Back when I was attempting to make the car competitive in AStock for SCCA Solo II, I tried going with a bigger FSB to reduce the front bodyroll. The labor involved to get it on was ridiculous! Let's see if I have the patience to do it all myself this time.

Or you could try to shave pts from elsewhere. Run lesser tire or more of the OEM exhaust. Probably not ideal, but ya never know.

The only apples-to-apples comparison I did after installing the FSB was running at VIR. On some sweepers the car felt more poised (ex: turn 10), but on some I felt as if it rotated less (ex: turn 3,4). So overall I don't think it makes a significant advantage. I think an extra 10mm of rubber will be more beneficial. But I might think otherwise after I've attempted to drop the subframe by myself
