caltracs VS ladder bars?

[gearjammer]

I got the blocks from supernova, they are just 1" thick aluminum. Drilled a hole in them and put a bolt all the way through the block and the spring for the spring locator.

I changed the rear tires, they are now M/T 29.5x10.5S on 12" rims, fronts are still 26x15's... The only thing I changed on the front recently is I put some stiffer springs in it, it's been a 8" Santhuff coilover setup for a couple years now but when I put the new engine in it the heavier Dart block required a heavier spring rate. It's sitting up just a bit higher than I want now but I think the springs will likely relax some and maybe drop an inch over time maybe. If not I'll put a little bit lighter spring in it next year.

:supernova: I want a set of those blocks if you have anymore gearjammer@wowway.com

Thanks John, I'm thinking about building a whole new car then stripping everything I can use off this one and putting it on the new car which will have a 25.5 cage, modified front subframe and a sheet metal rear end.

The time has come and i still am undecided.

I am leaning towards these bars with a bushing in front (pro street) for a more street friendly application. I will go with the double adjustable. I like the idea of adjustable ride height with coilovers.

Pro's for the caltrac/leaf setup is that i have the leafs already and can make the caltracs.
