Nothing regarding the actual racing...but the drivers had to spend money...

Its NOT about the cars. Its not about the cars. For SCCA class whatever its about the cars, for Spec Alfa its not about the cars.
SpecE30 works because it (1)gives the cars just enough suspension mods to be fun to drive,(2) easy to prep a car for, (3)hard to cheat, and (4)cheap to build. Its going to be really really hard to get Spec Alfa going if it isn't cheap and easy
I think there is a handful of RSR kits in the US, there are TONS of aftermarket swaybars,torsion bars, and springs on cars here making it easier to prep the car(2). The RSR kit, as you say, is adjustable thus taking the Spec out of it or making it easier to cheat. You can look at a torsion bar, sway bar or springs and know those aren't legal, making it hard to cheat (3). James hit it on the nose, RSR isnt cheaper(4)
