Unless you are racing for money (and could win cash) I wouldn't worry about
it. You could argue that you welded them in before the "weld perch in place
rule". I have the newer konis with two perch settings. My perches rest at
the stock height, but are not welded in. Technically, I could be protested,
but nobody around here cares (whether I beat them or not). The problem
resides in SCCA's stock rules: you should have to run stock shocks or
equivalent-Right?
