CALTRAC MONO SPRING YESss

Also do the caltrac spring set up function OK on the street?
I talked to Matt at CalTracs yesterday. Travis is the other guy to talk to. They are only about 60 miles from me. He said, as reported by many users, that the CalTracs with the monoleafs work great on the street too and there is little difference b/w the SS springs as far as ride quality. It's going to be firm. And to quote him, "it's not going to be a Cadillac" :lol: He also said that the stability of the rear is much better especially while turning. He said you should get rid of your rear sway bar.

Do they come bowed the same or how do you go about getting the ride height you want?

I asked them the same question. He said you have to tell them the ride height you expect/want before you order them. For example: 1+ inch above stock or 1- inch, etc. They set them up from the factory according to the ride height you want/need. I think he said you can't adjust them for ride height afterwards. Can't remember exactly. Sorry.

As far as clearance issues, which was one of my questions because my car will be on the street alot. They make a low profile design for cars with less than say 500 hp for more ground clearance on the street. There is only one adjusting hole for the Force Transfer Link rod end to be located. See #1 below. The bottom hole is removed and upper hole is used instead.


In the picture you can see the lower hole being used near the red jack stand. The shock mount on the Caltrac hangs down just a tad lower than the pumpkin on most cars. The Spring Mount/Front Pivot is were you get extra clearance with the low profile design that is offered .


BTW another tid-bit side note. I also asked which shocks to use up front. CalTracs is working on some new front shocks. He said they had some they were offering but felt they didn't stand up due to valving issues. QA-1 are very good but very pricey. The comps suck but do the job. They said they might have an offering next year and will be offered at a considerably lower price than the QA-1 units. :thumbup: These guys are not out to screw us in the aftermarket world of hot rodding.

Hope this is useful information and someone doesn't try to "debunk" it for the sake of arguement. Just trying to help by getting some info from the source. :salute:
