Looks like it was the LEFT lane FTW.
That’s what I figured too. The one guy on here said he went from SS springs (pretty sure they’re all A-body length) to split so just wondering if Caltrac has both lengths. I have the a-body set and the hanger extenders but I would like the longer spring (which works better I understand) this will be on my 66 Belvedere.B-Body I would assume? Since I have a 70 Roadrunner?
What I'm not sure about is the "lift". -1, 0, +1 inch...
with bias slicks, no with pro bracket radials YesDid the Vikings make much difference?
updated video with viking double adj. shocks

Hey Jim!with bias slicks, no with pro bracket radials Yes
I would recommend the vikings over the calvert shocks on the rear. You will have way more adjustments to help with the car 'hooking'.
I am not asking about the slider brackets again EDIT (in an effort to) find someone who tells me to get them, EDIT (I just want to learn more about them) but since NSS Guy uses them, I'm asking you about them NSS Guy.The main purpose of the slider is to eliminate the shackles in order to keep a constant spring rate. It’s an unnecessary complication at this point. You don’t need it.
If that were a video of caltracs, monos and shackles, you’ll see something that looks nearly identical. If you were chasing NHRA records in a leaf spring limited class, or trying to set the leaf spring world record, I’d recommend them. You don’t need them. They just complicate the installation and increase the cost in your situation with no real return on investment.
See, something like that alone would rule them out, because of the potential hazard if they wore excessively and broke.The sliders I’ve seen wear grooves eventually. Just driving around all day would equal years of track time.
That is where I am as well. My decision morphed through the thread, and ultimately Caltracs is what I've decided on.Didn’t read through every post, but I can offer that I believe my Caltrac setup is getting me just about every hundredth of ET my little 451 can provide.
Here's a way around welding them to the frame. From customer reviews:I had them installed when I got the caltracs
So, you’re not open to hear anything unless it’s what you want to hear? Or is it that you really don’t care if you need them or if they’re worth the expense and trouble for your application and you just want them? If so, get them. Go for it. Why do you need confirmation from others?I am not asking about the slider brackets again until I find someone who tells me to get them.
Lol. What I was trying to say is that me asking for more information about sliders DOES NOT MEAN that I am going to keep asking until someone says "get them".So, you’re not open to hear anything unless it’s what you want to hear?

Lol, ok, that’s a little clearer!Lol. What I was trying to say is that me asking for more information about sliders DOES NOT MEAN that I am going to keep asking until someone says "get them".
Edited the unclear post, for clarification's sake.Lol, ok, that’s a little clearer!
