Default Re: Suspension set up using caltracs

Made our own caltracs back in the mid 90's (didn't even know that's what they were called but copied them from a small pic in Hot Rodding mag) for my XB coupe. Ran 6cyl XA Fairmont front springs, 90/10 shocks and no swaybar up front. The rear I removed a leaf on each side (maybe 2?) and ran standard factory green XY rear shocks. The car sat a little lower on one side than the other but was great on the strip; tracked straight and lifted the front equally on each side when launched. I didn't like them on the street though, probably should have taken the preload out of them? Oh and it was a manual.
