caltracs recommends Rancho RS9000's I believe, I'd contact them and see if they can help you out

I have a buddy that runs caltracs on his mopar and that's what they sent him with his "kit"

I don't have a part number, but I have QA1 double adjustable shocks on the amx (Stock front suspension/Calvert rear suspension). I measured the distance between the shock mounts with the car at rest and with the suspension hanging.   Called QA1 and they made the shocks.

Couldn't be happier with there performance.

The Calvert rear adjustable shocks are pretty sweet. You can feel the difference every click of the adjustment. I called them & they made me a set. No extra charge.

I have Rancho RS9000's on the back of mine with Cal-Tracs. Seems to work pretty good, wasn't so great with shackles, but I switched to sliders to free everything up, and as an aside it cleared up an issue that I was having with the shocks hitting full extension and making the car "bunny hop". 60' now is in the 1.55 range on a decent track, and has been as low as 1.51 on a good sticky track.   This is with Hoosier 29.5x10.5W's and a 4.10 gear.
