I've decided to go with the Calvert mono springs to go with the Caltrac bars and 9 way shocks I just bought. Anyone here run their springs on a driver and if so how is the ride?

If you take pre-load out of em and run an air gap on the cross bolt, they ride just fine in my opinion especially w/the shocks on the softer settings like 1 or 2.

The Duster runs fine even on these back roads around here. Like said above just take any and all pre-load out. It rides better than my dads baracuda with super stocks on it.

If you run them with the track settings it will ride like a buckboard

I don't have any preload in mine when I race it. I just set the bars where they touch the spring and set the shocks on 9. CHIP
