Speedway Sales them .. Make sure at ride height your slider is sitting more towards the back... Even with a very tight shock settings my car will pull the slider forward 3". On an 1/8 mile pass...

These are mounted too far forward and you can see the dr. side hit the ft. of the slider bracket.......should be 3/4's back or more to compensate for extension not compression...

They are certainly interesting. The spring perches on that car were very, very tall as well!

So has anyone tried these sliders yet?

They look interesting but will they work? Any thoughts. I am thinking they would not act as quickly as the laid down sliders. Not sure if that is good or bad?

They should plant quicker and have a lot more extention. Depending on shock settings of course. Id like to try a set but cant justify the costs right now. With whats going on..

On that same not has anyone used the Calvert slanted sliders? I bought the US MADE speedway sliders,they look the same,they could be the same and I will never know. The bolts and rollers that came with the sliders are for S/S springs. I had to buy the kit from Calvert to fit his slider. I should have bought the Cals in the 1st plce rolleyes
