The truth about caltracs

Sheeeeeeeet, some guys do quite well on SS spring of all things.


I don’t disagree. In fact, the SS spring will cover a multitude of chassis evils because of they way they work. They have a short, relatively high IC but the saving grace is the fact that they apply the tire much slower than a ladder bar and Caltrac style of traction bars. Because of that, they will get by with much less shock (you can run almost any shock as long as it doesn’t top out and using a DA almost always doesn’t show much of an improvement because the suspension moves much slower than a ladder bar or the others) and require little tuning. That’s why so many guys use them and they work. Are they the best? In most ways they aren’t. But for what they do and the way they do it they work.
