Cal Tracs rear suspension or multi-link suspension kit?

Bill Crowell said
I'd sure appreciate it if somebody could explain to me why you would choose one or the other. I'm not very smart about suspensions. Right now the rear suspension on my car is composed strictly of mix-n-match parts (it's pretty lousy!).

I'm leaning toward a Cal Tracs because I really like the way they have a special version for use with leaf springs that have been relocated inward, which my car has.

I'd like my car to be primarily a road car, a corner-carver, but I need to make occasional forays to the drag strip in order to maintain my credibility (such as it is!) with the FABO crowd.

Thanks for edumacating me!

I would avoid Caltracs for a street driven car. They are very harsh riding and a bit noisy. I am currently running a pair of passenger side 2800lbs SS springs with a 1" lowering block, Koni shocks. a rear swaybar and a set of properly adjusted slapper bars.

I was able to beat a Hellcat in a flag drop drag race at the Willow Springs Track Day this Spring, and the car will outcorner all but the best sports cars and high end luxury sedans out there, if they have a competent driver. The car has a firm yet compliant ride and it hooks up hard with Nitto Drag Radials.
