Anyone use the Compition engineering Slide-a-link traction bars??  If so how do you like them??

[Chryco Psycho]

we installed a set on a 440 Duster , it ran 1.78 60' before them & with them the 60' time "dropped" to 1.78

Would they offer any advantage in tuning the suspension for track conditions?

[Chryco Psycho]

that is what we did set it up for track with sticky tires , it made Zero difference

I meant more for if you were going to different tracks and adjusting for their surfaces.  Or for that matter, the track you were using, if someone oiled down a lane or you went back and the bite was gone?

Their primary objective is to prevent axle/spring wind up.  Doesn't sound like anyone is using them though.

Are they GREATLY different from Cal-Tracs?

I'm a ways from getting my car together, but I can offer this advise on Comp Eng Slide-a-link: I tried putting a pair on my new mopar perf XHD springs & they WILL NOT FIT.  I called Comp Eng & they told me that they only fit stock springs. Summit would not take them back sense I'd pressed the bushings in already. I have sense purchased Cal-Tracs from Mancini(who stand behind there stuff a little better plus they know mopars where summit deals w all the brandx...) the cal-tracs are built much better/heavier & will fit most springs(I don't think they fit super stock). If anyone wants a pair of slide-a-links I'll sell the set I've got for $280 plus shipping.
