A revolutionary, patented, completely bolt-on traction device, the Slide-A-Link™, designed for both street and strip use is track tested and competition proven to outperform conventional “Slapper” bars. A solid mounted front plate is installed inside the original front spring pocket and clamps to the leaf spring to provide a positive displacement for the torque that is transmitted from the rear axle through the telescoping bar and special durometer shock pad. These forces, along with improved instant center geometry, provide better weight transfer for increased traction. Free travel and pre-load adjustments are made on the vehicle by adjusting the jack screw at the rear of the bar.

Doesn't show the new L item but should be the same price.

I was going to buy these bars and they do have some advantages over slappers and solid links but if you go to comps web site and download the instructions you need to remove the leaf spring and press in new bushings ( I believe Caltracs are the same) I don't own a press and wanted something a bit easer to install. I decided on a set of JL's bars. The adjustability of the links is nice but how often are you going to adjust them? Competion Engineering makes great quality products and has used this setup for other cars so I'm sure they work well they just weren't for me. Todd
