<<<If someone firmly believes shocks are waste of time and money on
their car, they should certainly be free to keep their pucks while
others can change. >>>
I don't think it's a question of being a waste, per se. I think it's a
question of:
1) What it would do to the value of the existing cars once
shock-optimized cars are developed
2) The ongoing cost of shock rebuilds (vs the cost of replacement
pucks).
3) The cost & logistics of policing a spec shock if one is selected
4) The cost of high-end shocks if the rule is free
5) The development time required to re-engineer every car in existence
for a new damping system. Even if fitting the shock/spring can be done
relatively easily, tuning will change enough to require 'starting over'
with a car that the owner has probably already spen a great deal of
time and money on tuning.
