Clat trac vs. SS springs vs 4 link

Ace said
Chassis and suspension tuning for drag racing is a very dynamic subject with lots of options and ways to achieve good results. To make blanket statements like "caltracs don't work with SS springs" without explaining and proving it is wrong. You and perfacar are the ones making those statements and so far have not explained or justified it. Of course Calvert doesn't "recommend" using their bars with SS springs, when they can sell you a set of expensive monoleafs instead!

Don't answer a question with a question or ask me to explain something that is clearly documented in the reference links I provide. I get a little bit peeved when I see people throwing out unsubstatiated and in some cases downright bad advice around here. I call it the way I see it. My car hooks hard with SS springs and custom homemade Caltracs I fabbed up myself. The question is clearly answered for me personally in my setup and remains to be answered why it is wrong in your comments.

I agree with you that things are dynamic and some things do work on one person car and will not work on another car. I feel that I explained why the two set-ups are not made to work together. Can they work together? Maybe. They work for you on your car......but you are not running "true" Cal-tracs they are bars you made which is great and they probably look exactly like my Cal-Tracs without the powder coating. Calvert Racing doesn't want SS springs ran with their bars PLAIN AND SIMPLE. That is what we are trying to relay. I don't feel I just made a blanket statment saying they don't work together......I felt like I explained myself. I don't know how to explain it anymore than I did in the post above. So far you are the only person I have EVER talked with that said they work together.....are there more out there that run them together probably.....does that make it right or wrong? Neither. The original question was what kind of suspension should he run on his car? He got a lot of different suggestions and I'm curious what direction he went. I know perfacar and myself are not the only ones out there that have been told why they shouldn't be used together. If you read in the MP Chassis manual you should never use anything other than a pinion snubber with SS springs so MP doesn't want and type of traction bar used with their springs either. If you need to have exact proof of that I will try and find that in my MP chassis manual and scan it.
