Caltracs??? Any good???

I hear you on the ride. I doubt I've put 1500 miles on one of my cars over the last few years.

Front end set up is just as important, IMO more, as the rear in a door car.

Depending on what you want to do, if it's a drag racer type car, IMO big torsion bars aren't the ticket. Put the smallest bar that requires the most preload to hold the car up, poly bushing upper/lowers CA or heimed UCA's, 6" of travel from static to extended and some really good drag shocks. Won't drive all that great on rough roads.
