What about the good old Vauxhall championships!!!!
Don't know about Vauxhalls, but going back many years to the old Ford Escort Sport Championship, I believe one of the front running teams got round the ride height rule in a "clever" manner.

I think the ride height was checked with a measurement from the floor to the bottom of the door opening, and it was only part of the way though the season someone discoverd that the doors on a couple of cars were actually two inches or so smaller than the standard production model.
I think the cars had been lowered and the door sills built up to make the difference, hence the smaller doors
