    Caltracs or Slide a link ?

     



    So has any one used both which is better ?
    I'm leaning toward Caltrac. But would like to hear others opinions.

    What kind of car, what kind of power, what transmission??? Is this a street car that you're just trying to hook up, or what????

    Sorry it's a 1968 Camaro with mostly stock 454 th400. Will soon have around 2500 RPM high stall. Rear end is a 9 inch with 3.7 gears might go to 3.55 gears in the future. Street and some strip.

    I'd be leaning towards the Caltrac's then, too. Seem to be a bit more compatible with a street car. You might also want to consider a first rate shock to go with the bars, it will allow the bars to "work" better and improve the hook even more!

    Was looking at QA1 coil overs for the front and QA1 on the rear.

    Good choice, QA-1's are a great unit! I've gone to AFCO's on a number of cars for shocks, might want to look at them for the rear, too. Main reason I've switched over is for drag cars and circle burners Speedway motors has a shock dyno, sells AFCO's, and has a very good tech and shock rebuild service....and is a next day ship to here!! Other then that, I'd still be running QA's on everything... But for the front coil overs, IMO QA-1's are the only one's to look at for street use!!!! Should be a real good working suspension, be sure to let us know how it works out!!!!!!
