 Topic: Calvert racing leafsprings in a GremlinPosted: Feb/23/2015 at 12:41pm |

Hey guys I´ve been looking on the forum and there seems to be couple of guys running calvert racing split mono leafsprings on their Gremlins.
But looking at their website I can´t find them listed anywhere. So I guess my question is are they all custom built ? or do they list some other car that fits the Gremlins as well ? I wanna get both the split mono leafsprings and the Caltracs bars |

I believe they will make them for you at a reasonable cost. I run cal-tracs on a stock mono leaf spring Camaro and they work well. Call Calvert at (661) 728-9600. They were always great to work with when I was working out the setup on my Camaro.

they work well with stock springs, too. The Mono leaf will allow some ride height adjustment, as well as shave some weight.

I had them on my old '73 Gremlin. Had to modify the shock plates so the shock absorber would locate in the stock location. Other than that they bolted right in. That was several years ago, they may have corrected that.
The other solution is to bolt the Cal Trac axle tube pier under the original shock plate. -Steve- |

Be sure to reinforce the spring perches on the axle housing.
Hp/traction will crush them. Ron.

I've got them on my '74 Gremlin. I had to send one shock plate back, it was wrong, but Calvert is GREAT to work with. Give them a call.
