8,9, 10, 11, 12, whatever second car it is, ladder bars will ALWAYS be better and more consistant than a leaf spring car. Cal-Traks, traction bars and anything else you bolt on, is just a band-aid for a poor drag race suspension.

Doug,

Our car is set up almost identical to DVW's car. No floor had to be cut up at all. I think its more consistent. It the body goes down rather than up (look at a leaf spring car launch). More traction... Also when we switched from SUPER STOCK springs to ladder bars and coil overs we picked up 7 tenths... just that no joke. Of course that was when we were going 11.60's...

Just something to think about.... also they are legal in just about every NSS organization.. even CC events

also. I know what my junk will do every time I leave. Crap tracks do make it spin sometimes but it's not the suspension it's the track.
