Nate, I saw your other post about the Cal-Trac adjustment--how much power do you have? Do you have a traction problem? What kind of tire are you using? I have QA-1's on mine, but I'd spend your money somewhere else until you get around 750 h.p.
And for the adjustment, read the instructions that came with the bars.

Im just putting the car back togather and was wanting a good shock just put new rear in new caltracs and the only reason I ? the adjustments for the instructions is because It dosent tell you what hole to run them in and I remember alot of people talking on here about where they were having the best luck thats why I ask to get a good starting point. Its a street strip car hoping when done its in the 550-600 hp area Tires are Mt et street radial And as far as the shocks Ive heard alot of people having good luck with QA1s but thats why I ask what other people are Running and what works for them to get a feel. But thanks for your input Nate

Calvert will recommend the Rancho RS9000 9-way externally adjustable shocks to work with the Caltracs. I ran Koni SPA-1 drag shocks on the front.

I run summit drag shocks all the way around on my street/strip car.They are a good shock.I have them set at 90/10 front and 70/30 rear.They are really cheap in price and work good on the street and strip.
