As far as exhaust is concerned, the operative word here is "OEM or equivalent" -- it needs to be comparable to the OEM setup, and I would argue that since manufacturers often offer OEM performance exhaust options, aftermarket solutions only need to be comparable to those to meet the "OEM or equivalent" definition.
The "aftermarket coilover would fail" thing is ludicrous. There is absolutely nothing in the CVSE manual to suggest that aftermarket coilovers would fail. The common "coilover" suspension that we refer to is really nothing more than a coil spring suspension with height adjustibility. The passing criteria does include a clause that says the springs cannot be "sagged so as to lower vehicle more than 38 mm (1 1/2 in.) from manufacturer’s specifiedheight". As long as the lowered amount does not exceed that, it should pass inspection.
