Kyle,
I can answer a few of your questions, so I'll jump in...
IT rules are fairly strict, and include a "boilerplate" paragraph right up front... if it doesn't say "yes", it means "no". In any case, here's a link to the SCCA site that contains an Adobe link to the entire General Competition Rules (GCR) book somewhere near the top of the page. But you can also go to the middle of the page and pick off the Improved Touring Category, which is that part of the GCR that essentially covers everything IT except some safety equipment specifics:

The quick answer to your specific questions... The exterior must remain essentially stock, but you can remove trim pieces (in our case, the stainless fender and door trim). Front air dams/spoilers are allowed within strict guidelines, bumpers must remain installed. Suspension changes are somewhat more liberal; in a nutshell, you can use any shocks or springs, to include adjustable perches and coilovers, as well as any anti-roll bar. But the basic suspension geometry cannot be changed; for instance, at the front you must use the original a-arms and spindles, and the original attachment points for same.
