From the technical regs
a) Class 1 vehicles must be fitted with sprung suspension between the wheels and the chassis unless originally manufactured otherwise.
(b) Suspension and steering movement must be controlled to avoid fouling of wheels and tyres on chassis or bodywork
(c) In Class 1 the choice of spring and damper length is free. Provided the vehicle is not lifted more than 5cm. Springs and dampers must use their original mounting points. Dampers must not bottom out before the limit of upward suspension travel is reached
(d) In Class 1, remote reservoir & coil over dampers are prohibited.
(e) In Class 1, suspension arms and members must be as originally fitted by the manufacture. Dislocation cones are allowed.
(f) In Class 1, vehicles originally fitted with leaf springs may be fitted with parabolic springs, provided that suitably up rated dampers are also fitted. (Parabolic springs do not have the same degree of natural damping as provided by leaf springs. hence the need for up rated dampers.)
(g) In Class 2 and 2S where the top mounting of the shock absorber is mounted directly to a main member of the roll-cage a brace must be fitted
