You can also back the Cal-Tracs off to loosen them up for the street.
The Cal-Tracs are definitely a superior setup.




can you help me understand that? to me they look almost identical.

And how can you make the caltracs all loose? its still a solid rod right?
If you loosen the slide-a-links all the way it does nothing, its like its not there.

Help me understand



If you look at the front pivot point of the Cal-Tracs setup, you'll see that if you shorten the bar, it will take all the preload off of the spring. You can back it way off where there is an air gap and the bar will never put pressure on the spring even if you run over a railroad track. There is a lot of adjustment on the bar...heim joints on both ends.
The Cal-Tracs don't have the goofy bushing and they are made of much thicker/stronger material. A friend of mine and headsup racer switched from Slide-a-links to Cal-Tracs and was very happy after doing so.
The Cal-Trac setup is just a better system, period.
