As was previously pointed out, you most likely have nothing to worry about unless you come up against a someone willing to suffer the ridicule a weenie protest like this brings upon the protester.
I only see a rule regarding the bushing material. Not metal content of balljoint as was stated earlier.

I reached out to Jeff Wong at Proparts. They can rebuild Megans for me but I did not specifically ask about Konis. I wouldn't rule it out, but I was surprised it wasn't the first option recommended.

I would for sure consider those. Don’t let internet reputation deter you.

The main thing they have going for them is the price. If the budget changes they seem like a viable option. I think I would prefer something more robust though.

Not sure, I guess it starved under cornering? Last run at autox it just started knocking.

What do you think about the off the shelf Swift-R Springs from Z1? Would they be an OK starting point?

I would save the money and get coilover springs with good shocks to play with the ride height.

I don't think it is worth the time or the money to do a stop gap set-up en route to an actually good one. If I had known the car was moving to stu I probably would have never bought my konis. Research and do it right, ideally, once.
