    I did a little research on this site since I asked. It looks like you're running a coil over front conversion. Are you using caltrac traction bars and leafs on the rear?

    Thanks!

    Yes, that's why I ask. I want to order me a set, but I live in Brazil and the shipping is astronomical, and I don't want to get it wrong. Do you have the tech specs? I would really appreciate if you could help me out.

    I dont' really have any specs for you, just call them and tell them what you have and what you are doing with the car. Personally, unless this is an "all out drag car" and every bit of weight loss is essential, I would go with the Calvert Split Mono-leaf spring.

    What kind of suspension are you guys running

    I am running Nittos DR 245/50R16. They hook pretty good on the street and race. Plus i do get caught in a rain shower i stand a good chance. Also what psi? I run 32 on the street and 18 at the track.
