Tom is correct...

Remove your shocks and the car's body will not do a thing....It's still "suspended".....unless you have a coil over shock....


Cal tracks work well but they are not much different than a ladder bar with a front mount that pivots.

Philbilly, I have. 67 camaro sbc E/SA car with caltracs. What I found best for basically our low hp Stockers are the lightest mono leaf spring you can get on the car that will just barely hold the car up. Then use the shocks to control rear suspension.Split mono's are probably to stiff for your car. Try to find a 175lb mono spring.
