Re: CalTracs - anyone interested? -Group Buy

Chris I wish I could do it that soon but I've got to pay off the trip to Vegas by the end of this month.

Jeff if you do it make sure to let me know how it fit with the spring setup we both have.

Re: CalTracs - anyone interested? -Group Buy

I have updated the pricing on these per Caltracs pricing policy due to complaints. I appologize to those I have offended. I have sent everyone an email that is/was interested indicating this change with the new pricing of $339.

Re: CalTracs - anyone interested? -Group Buy

Chris, my Cal-Tracs arrived this afternoon safe and sound. Everything looks great, and they appear to be of excellent quality. I will try to determine this weekend if the bushing size will be an issue.

Thanks man!

Re: CalTracs - anyone interested? -Group Buy

I received my order too. And yes, they are very nicely made. I have another set that I bought used for a different application, so I already knew what to expect.

Sidebar question - what are you guys setting your pinion angle too? If stock, do you happen to know what angle they use from the factory? I've heard that the Caltracs like less pinion angle... like only 1 or 2 degrees.

Re: CalTracs - anyone interested? -Group Buy

Greg, Factory is about 3-4 degrees. I don't know if I would go down to 1 or 2 though. I guess Calvert (or actually Posey racing) is who we should ask.
