    They are Caltracs. Available only from Calvert Racing. Contact them at:

    http://www.calvertracing.com/info/info.htm


    Costs $320 plus shipping. I have not raced my car yet. I've talked to at least 3 people who do race & have them. They have nothing but praise for them. Fit and finish was excellent and they just look so great to boot.

    Dan; installed the sub-frame connectors over the weekend, and they are superb!! The car is more stable and has better road manners. Thanks a bunch,

    Earl

    Very nice Mavaholic! Those bars look almost identical to the Shelby under rides. That white must be a bitch to keep clean.

    I can attest to the performance of those caltrac bars . They work better than anything short of ladder bars or 4 links.

    In fact if you can get your hands on a set you can make them up yourself for around 100 bucks or less but I advise you to use seamless tubing
