Caltracs and mono's weigh roughly the same as superstock springs, I've had 'em on the scales...
If you are useing caltracs don't forget you need long adjustable shocks to dial them in, you don't want to run out of suspension travel.

promised update on ride quality, cruised out today in the sunshine, popped in to see Dave R
Suspension is firm (it was anyway with the old springs), but doesn`t seem to crash about as much. Car seems a little more sure footed, but not massively so. All in all, I`m quite happy with the result. I think it looks better for it

It was good to see you today Neil in your jacked-up Pro Stocker.
It does look better than before.

Mmmm, that's my kind of stance, and the colour is great too.

Those monos certainly stiffen things up,but the good thing is,the car still feels nice to drive & the stance still the same as with the S/S springs.

Bearing in mind,i've got the caltracs on mine aswell,when preloaded,makes em a bit harder.
