cal-tracks do's and don'ts

I have the Cal-Tracs in the upper hole. As mentioned, the lower hole does not hit as hard which allows mine to spin badly on my local track, which is generally marginal.
I also have the Rancho Shocks from Calvert. They control body separation. Most people recommend that you have at least 4"-5" of front end travel.
I think you will want the shocks eventually.
Anyway....Install as recommended with you in the driver seat.
For adjustments, we made a wrench for the jam nuts by taking an old wrench, cutting it down to about 6" long and grinding off the sides of the head to fit into the front.
I haven't found another person that has the same adjustment as we do. Mine works best with a full turn on the bar after it makes contact with the spring. Once you find the best setup for your car, you can use adjustable shocks to hit harder or softer.
