    I just have the cheapest shocks I could get for the rear. For the front I have Summit 3 way adjustable shocks. I have a set of Cal Trac adjustable front shocks but haven't put them on yet.:)

    caltracs are the traction bars i think...they are on the wish list at the moment..the car has air shocks on it right now and i hate them....my dad is old school an he loves them but theyve got to go....also whats a good wau to get more height in the rear when i change over to regular shocks

    Last year, when I got the car running and to the track for the first time...I just had whatever shocks AutoZone sells for our cars on the rear lol. Best 60' with them was a 1.48, pulling the fronts about 18" lmao. I'm going to be installing the Calvert split mono leafs and their rear shocks soon. Just trying to get the car going back together this year.

    PS...those 60's were with no cage and no subframe connectors lol...home made cal-trac setup!
