I take it Jim is a democrat.

-1 here, Front mounted in the bottom hole, so the rear can and will go about 1" lower.


For the record, I hate stickers lol

Okay, I need some understanding. Our Duster presently has the stance of "Ari440" I noticed that each post comments on a -1, 1 and +1. What is the determining factor in this description? I do not see any mention of this on the Caltrac web site. We are possibly going to go to the Caltrac's during the winter and would like to know. By the way I like the stance of that car.

when I ordered the caltrac setup they asked me about my car

weigth
hp rating
ride heigth

I had ss springs 002-003 they are 2 inch ride heigth over stock

they have an idea of what stock ride would be

also if you put the monoleaf springs on and there too low or high they would swap out the springs to get the ride heigth you want

it would be best to call them and ask about it before you order them


my car sits lowwer then the pics show

me in the car

four flats on the drivers side

six flats on the pass side

rancho 9000 # 7 setting



thank you MIKE

Well since no one wrote anything I will give my opinion. If you want to have a stock suspension car and the ease of just changing a few bolts Cal Tracs are the answer. Some people will say they dont get the same consistant 60' I dont have a problem as I look at it as most ladder bar cars have a bigger tire on the rear and that is what helps.I dont have wheelie bars but do have Afco shocks I adjust to take out how high or low the car comes off the line. I like small tire cars and this is my reason for Cal Tracs.My car with super stock springs went 1.4s in 60 with cal tracs 1.3's . I use a c-11 29x10.5 Hoosier and Love it.The only ladder bar car i watch on here is 440-Jim's very consistant and runs great, but again bigger tire and wheelie bars.My
