I use them and they are good, they separate easy but dont unnerve the car down track. Although one or two people on here, said they affected their car's handling. Mick

I use them on my Satellite. I love them. I have no handling issues. I drive them on the street also. Do you have at least 5 inches of travel in the front?? I cut down the front bumpstops to get a little more movement.

As caltrac says great for 9.90 and slower cars. Loved them on my car before the afcos. Lots of street driving with out a problem.

Yes, they are very loose, and work well. For what its worth, my car ran the same with CE 90/10 shocks...no difference at all.

Yes, I just took off my QA1 SA and put on an older set of caltrac 90/10s. a BIG change Wheels off on launch, 2nd & 3rd It really needs double adjustables to settle it down. The QA1s just did not want to compress and I don't think it was settling down. amazing how much of an effect front shocks have

They helped me... as previously said should be good for 9.90 cars or slower.And they do come up fast and hold it there.

They did not work at all on my car. Lifted too easily and would unload the rear. Works great w/ a stiffer shock.

Hi Chip, Do you have any video with these shocks? When you say they lifted to easy do you mean you were pulling the tires to high or the car wouldn't pull the tires before it spun? My car only pulls the tires quick about 2-3 inches then the front end drops.
