I pulled the car out of the garage yesterday and the drivers side of the car is drooping about +/- 1.5 inches. Its a very noticeable droop. Is that normal. Its reminding me of the SS spring droop on one side.
Do you have any pics of your car from behind....Maybe its supposta be that way????
measure your bottom of front fender to the floor and get measurements from both sides, then adjust your torsion bar accordingly to get the proper ride height. for your cal tracs to work properly you need to get 5" of front end travel. you dont need to call calvert
your next question is how do i figure out how to achieve 5" of front end travel.

I had the same problem with mine 3 years ago and I had heard that Calvert had a "bad batch" of springs I could clearly see the arch was completely gone and the springs went flat.I sold them and went back to SS springs and later found out that Calvert would have replaced them.I would call them and ask them what they can do about it.

I'll check out my T-bar settings when I get a chance.....
Ya How do ya get 5" of travel I have /6 t-bars and I'm gonna get Cal-tacs 90/10 front shocks what else should I do????
GET your desired right height which probably will be different when finding 5" of travel. 1st set ride height with car level and take the measurement from bottom of fender to center of the wheel. 2nd jack up front of the car on k member until front wheels are off the ground then take the same measurement with wheels off the ground. the difference of the measurement of the 2 should be 5". 3rd if its less than 5" lower the torsion bar or remove the rubber stop bumper to achieve maximum travel

Had a similar problem whereby the drivers side was around 1" lower than pas side , found it was the pin that loads the caltrac had fallen out , was the snap ring that went AWOL , hence the bar slipped out , the fix was to use a nut & bolt to hold the pin.
