Targa Tas Tech Regs Suspension Q's.

Hi all.
I'm reading some Group N regs from Targa Tas and need help in interpreting some of the statements and how they could apply to a ST185 for example.
The first regulation is:
"The spring seats may be adjustable if the adjustable structural part is a part of the spring seat and is separated from the original suspension parts/bodywork (it may be removed).
Q1. Does this allow the fitment of (say K-mac?) adjustable camber tops ?
The second reg is:
"A silent block may be replaced by a 'uniball' joint, but only on the condition that the shock absorber has no guiding function (for example, as in a MacPerson strut).
Q2. Does this allow the fitment of roll centre adjusters and an anti-lift kit (like the one in the Whiteline cattle-dog) ?
Any and all help much appreciated, thanks.
Mitch.

I would say that its stating that you can run a coil over IF it is attached to the original seating point, i.e the same as what IP class does and similar to how my rear suspension set up is , with the sleve welded to the original spring seat but still allowing adjustment.
Im not sure if that also allows front coil fitment but im guessing that if you are able to fit the sleeve and maintain the original perch then it could be concluded to meet the requirements.
As far as a camber adjuster goes i dont think that reg. would mean that you can run them, the case bieng that a camber adjuster is NOT a spring seating point.

hmm this one is not so clear to me, but id say you are correct in assuming this is referring to RCA's

Thanks Michael, that has helped me a lot. I am guessing that with the second one silent/uniball it means that you can rose joint the suspension, but I am not 100% on this....
Cheers,
Mitch.
