Your mods would bump you out of stock class. Sorry (I'm sure that's not the answer you're looking for.) The problem is not so much with other competitors in your class - cause many times you can make a gentlemen's agreement on some of these things -- but it would be a problem with some drivers who are in the hunt for pax points and who might suspect you are gaining an advantage based on non-allowable mods. There are not many people who get like this, but it only takes 1.
With that in mind - I'd suggest just running in the class that allows these mods, not sure if that's ESP or something else -- since you'll run on your street tires anyway, you'll be in the grouped 'street tire" class.
