What are your take on them,I called Cal Tracs and they said never really seen any gain from running them,more for lowering or if you are moving springs inboard. Called another guy ,he said never had a car not pick up after he put them on. Wondering what you guys have to say before I buy them  THANKS EDDIE B

I had some on my car when it had Super Stock Springs, they didn't help at all, I wouldn't waste my money unless you want to lower the car down a little bit.

They made my car more consistant vs shackles. Not really faster. This was going mid 1.20 60'.
One day I will have something cool here.

The truck I built with them on it has been in the paint shop ever sense so don't know. I don't know if they are any free'r than a well greased shackle.

They are a little freer moving but if the shackle was
correct(angle) you wont see any gains.. if everything
is kept clean and lubed... I've put them on a few
cars now and they roll nice.... if you see any gain
I will bet that its from the lower rear of the car
and getting better transfer... but really thats the
height... so can you say it was the slider

I made the front and rear hangers on this truck so nothing is even related to stock. They do work freely.
