I'm sure this has been covered, but darned if I could find any threads.

So the designs look incredibly similar, except CE uses a urethane intermdiate piece to absorb shock loads.

Can anyone with experience for both of these comment on performance and ride quality?

The CE pieces have more adjustabilty and can really be detuned for street driving for the twist of a few wrenches. The bushings also help absorb a little of the tire shock when using a DR or Slick.

Tracs are rough, got them on the Nova, but if I wanted ride quality, I'd buy a cad or lexus, it a street racer, not worried,

If you were to do it again, do you think you would switch to the CEs?

definetly use the ce on the street . caltrac have a tendency to bend the front of the spring . over time.

I wouldn't, I will start to tune them at the strip, when I get my new exhaust, I was cutting a 1.8 60ft time with slapper bars, I'm doing the same with the CT's and I haven't cranked them yet, I haven't even tuned the motor yet, I'm useless,
