I have a E-body Challenger with S/S springs the have been moved in using the MP kit with offset hangers and shackles..does Caltracs make a setup for the shorter front spring segment to replace the S/S springs and snubber ?

Calvert will custom make just about anything you want...to a point.

They are very helpful on the phone, unlike a vendor in Indianapolis...

They will probably tell you not to use S/S springs with their bars. At least they told me that when I bought mine.

20" front segments, instead of 22". It's not ideal IMO, but I've run it, too.
