Leaf spring suspension

I my son has Caltracs on his car, he feels there are no issues on driving it the street. He has taken it on five drag weeks with no issues. I think he could always run a 10.90 even in the heat.

Other than your report I have never heard of a CalTracs failure although as many as are out there there must be more. I think most folks would say its a very robust product.

I would tell Calvert exactly what I planned for the car and follow their recommendations.

This is not to say some of the other combinations won't work.

In my opinion if you don't at least put frame connectors in it at sometime in the future you will have trouble closing the doors.

Good luck with your project.
