      Caltracs with offset shackles?

      I have a 67 Camaro and was wondering if anyone has ever used Caltrac bars with Detroit speed offset shackles and mini tubs. Looking to run a pro touring wheel/tire combo on the street, and a 29x10.5 slick for 1/8 mile. Will the Caltracs work with the shackles? Thanks

I too would like to have the pro touring stance for the 68 bird i'm building and be able to run a decent time at the strip if i choose to go no autocross Just wanna nail the stance and be able to handle well....the suspension is where i don't wanna over spend or mess up! It can be complicated lol! Good luck on your Build bro!

      looking at the way they mount I see no reason that they shouldn't work.

      72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.

      '70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.

      I don't run the offset shackles but I do run the caltracs with 17" wheels. I can't see why it wouldn't work. They mount to the front spring pirch and where the rear sits on top of the springs.

      I ran both on my 1969 camaro with minitubs and 335 rear tire with absolutely no issues! Hope this helps Lonnie
