i have copied and pasted the rules for you
2. SHOCK ABSORBERS / SUSPENSION
a) The make of shock absorbers may be substituted providing that the number, type
(e.g., tube, lever, etc.), system of attachment and attachment points are not altered,
except as noted below. The interchange of gas and hydraulic shocks absorbers is
permitted.
b) Both the front and rear suspension may be adjusted through their designed range
of adjustment by use of factory adjustment arrangements or by taking advantage
of inherent manufacturing tolerances. This encompasses both alignment and ride
height parameters, if such adjustments are provided by the stock components and
specified by the factory as normal methods of adjustment. However, no
suspension part may be modified for the purpose of adjustment unless such
modification is specifically authorized by the factory shop manual for noncompetition
purposes.

ok..................but then

if he did that then honesly he would be at a disadvantage as the weight difference is significant and the shocks would act negatively

then why would an experienced dexer with years of racing experience do this?
and how would this be negative?
the 'shock' dampens the motion of the spring, so even with stock springs, an uprated spring will change weight transfer and cornering behaviour etc................
I find it most odd that the rules would see an uprated damper alone as not significant enough to attract a point penalty............
this wreaks of loopholism IMHO
