if your running a fuel cell go coil overs and ladder bars. the only reason i went caltrac is because i still want to run the factory tank. basically caltrac's were designed for people who didn't want to cut up their rare cars, like John Calverts (inventor of caltracs) super cobra jet mustang he races. the car is worth a fortune.

Get ones that are double adjustable so you don't have to take them off to adjust them.  I've got the S&W double adjustables.  They are a nice piece at a good price.

accu fab has a set that are comperabe in price to the others, made of chromoly. there about the same price as the other company's. they list them on racing junks site and are double adjustable. i just removed all my cal tracks system and went to ladder bars. i wish i had not spent the money on them. they did work when i used the foot brake but for me they did'nt work with the trans brake.
