So while possible that a spring is out of spec and has 115# at the 1.76 to 1.8 install height allowed, it's not very common. They know the range of the springs and have rules set so it doesn't happen often, but it is possible. The pressure rule is more for non stock springs and springs that look just like the stock ones but are slightly stiffer. Many of those have real similar seat pressures but the open pressure is higher and hard to check without pulling spring off head to check the full range of the spring not just the on head test for seat pressure with a pull type on head spring checker.
Again, just going off the report/post why he was D/Q'ed it seems he was out of spec on the install height, I didn't see anything posted about pressure. I'm not trying to throw anyone under the bus but if it was indeed a install hieght only infraction, then that was done by someone not taking the time to do it right or didn't have the proper tools to set it correctly. Also not saying it was done on purpose either, could been a mistake, but with things like that I would figure a decent team doesn't make mistakes like that, when it's one of the first things checked
