OK. So it generally agreed that it is illegal to modify a stock part, in
this case an interior panel, to get easy access to a shock absorber which is
a legal allowance. Yet,I seem to remember the Solo Board granting an
allowance to owners of Sentra SE-R's to drill a hole in the bottom of the
McPherson strut tubes so they could mount Koni shocks.
Is there an objective standard, or are are the rules more a question of
situational ethics?
