Gazzard Bros offer angled sliders. What's the advantage? Moves in the natural arc of the leaf spring. Supposed to be less drag.

Hemi itis your Calvert sliders look identical to my speedway ones, packaging and everything. My car at rest the spring sits all the way back in the slider, I have hit the front of the slider before when I have had to pedal the car... it makes a hell of a noise That don't sound right at all no matter HOW fast you are........... Just means his shock isn't stiff enough to control it.

Looking at the arc of the spring I would guess that it's hanging Gus Car is on the life with axel hanging.They will NEVER go this far foward! I put them in the middle and the witness marks show they never get too close to the front or the rear.If I were to do it again,,,I would buy the Calvert sliders! It also lowered the body about nches2 inches. ..I think you're going to have a problem with it that far forward..

I've never seen any that far forward even with the suspension hanging.

Hemi itis your Calvert sliders look identical to my speedway ones, packaging and everything.

I'm going to say it's more of bowling the rear spring..then shock control.. as the rearing end rotates it pulls the rear spring forward... you might be okay but it will be close that's why most guys put it further back... I would say put white grease on the track where the rollers roll take it out and test it. .🖒
