Default Calvert Racing

I felt the need to give credit to a company that has exceptional customer service - Calvert Racing.

I am building a street-strip wagon, and ordered Calvert's split-leaf springs and Cal-Trac traction bars. The car is a bit "non-mainstream" so it has not been quite as easy to get parts for it, as it would be a typical A- or F-body.

As delivered, the springs (I ordered 1" drop) were probably closer to a 4" drop, and the bars supplied with the Cal-Trac system "fit" but would have more adjustability if they were shorter.

After talking with Travis VanKirk at Calvert, and supplying him with additional measurements, replacement springs and bars arrived at my house - at no extra cost to me!

I have now repackaged the unneeded pieces, and contacted Travis on how I should ship them back. He is having UPS pick them up - again, no additional cost to me!

I am VERY impressed with Calvert Racing!

Sincerely,
Lee Atkinson

Calvert is OK. You don't need to shop for price. Just explain what you are trying to accomplish, answer their questions and pay the bill when you pick up the work. You will not be disappointed!!

Calvert Racing is in So. Cal. They build the Cal-tracs bars for leaf spring cars. They seem to work real well as most of the Stock class racing guys use them and we have a member on here that has gone 8.60s in the 1/4 with them in his 69 Firebird.
