    I was wondering how much you guys have your cal tracs preloaded. I have mine just touching and im running a 1.802 60ft. I was w. Iondering if i would load them up more if it bring down my 60ft a little. I really dont know much about them, they were on the car when i got them

    According to John Calvert the designer/builder of Cal Tracs he has then set so with you sitting in the car you should be able to just squeeze a quarter between spring and cal trac. Bar should be as parallel to ground as possible

    I have mine set that way and run a 1.58 to 1.60 not the best but considering my car thats pretty good

    I recommend adjusting just like the factory recommends as stated. That's how mine are set and I ran a 1.30 60 foot! I tried other settings with less success. (y) I am impressed with the Cal Trac set up. :yup:
