Caltracs -1 wit 3/4" lowering block! I wanted to see no tire above the rim!

How tall are those tires? Im running a 29.5 tall. I want it lower for the look. The performance will be there and we can tune on it. I just cant stand a car jacked up in the butt. Sorry to you guys who like a high butt....

I liked the low look on the rear of cars too... so I minitubbed and put ladders on my 70 runner. Although if I could have went back and did it again I would have done what the guys above did.

I love how that looks, looks about the same as my ladder bar car.

First off DaCuda, we need to see more pics of this dart.
i dont know how my car would work without lowering blocks cause its allways had them. i've been a best of 1.27 60 ft on 315 radials no wheelie bars, also been on the bumper a couple times. i have 2 1/2" lowering blocks.

Been 1.25 60' @ 3200 on leafs/Caltracs with blocks on a 275 drag radial. You'll be fine...




Did the blocks change the way it acted? Would it still pull the front tires?




Times in my sig are with caltracs, 1" lower springs and 1" billet lowering blocks. Car looked good and low and yes it will still pull the front tires.....sometimes to the tune of 400'

Thanks guys. All this info is really helping ease my mind on the CalTracs. May try a set of blocks and see how it looks before going to the expense of ladder bars now. You guys are going way faster than me with the blocks so it cant hurt mine.
