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.
