I am using front spring hangers to lower my car. If I install Calvert's the bottom of the spring hanger will have to be trimmed to make clearance for the front bracket on Calvert bar. Should not be an issue, go to the CalTracs site and look at the front bracket and how it works. What you do need to worry about is that the hanger is wide enough to take the Caltrac bracket! I installed a set on my brothers 68 Charger and ran into this issue. He had bought AR engineering spring hangers from Mancinni. When the spring eye was in the upper hole the calvert bracket hit the spring hanger. We used the factory bracket instead. Doesn't Calvert make a version that works with relocated springs, that is narrower so it doesn't hit?
