The truth about caltracs

I have a sneaking suspicion that this might change this fall, but as of right now, my car is still slightly faster on bone stock springs (1.49 60'). The one thing that the caltracs did do for my car was make it consistent when the track was crap, and make the launch level (no more twisting launch with 1 tire in the air).

Thank you!! I have RARELY seen a car pick up in 60' with just adding John's bars/springs/shocks if it was already hooking with the previous set up. Many just the opposite. But remember, the FRONT of the car has just about as much to do with the chassis tune as the back.

Our Duster was no different. Worn out SS springs...one pass would hook the next would spin. Cal Tracs added to the SS springs (which John said was a no-no, but we had no others and he wasn't in the spring biz yet) and BAM! Every pass was within .02-ish to 60'. Added the springs to get the ride height down and interestingly it took a different tune on the bars to get them back to the same 60' as the bars with SS springs.

First time out with the 416 and the car pulled severely to the right on each hit. Added preload, problem solved. Dead hooks no matter now crappy the track is.

OP: if you want to sell all of that stuff, PM me and I might be interested if the price is right!
