Droped spindles VS offset bushings

I wanna say torsion bars are like .910? Maybe??
I will get offset bushings and align it to those specs, and see if it corners a lil better!
Thank you

It will corner better with the new alignment, but you won't be able to go any lower with those torsion bars. If anything you might need more travel than you have now to stay off the new bumpstops, and you will know when you hit them because they aren't the soft, progressive bump stops that the factory ones are. With your current set up you have to be on the bump stops pretty much constantly.

Ride height on these cars controls the amount of available suspension travel. Lowering the car reduces the amount of available travel, so you have to match your wheel rate (and torsion bar size) to the amount of available travel you have. With stock bars, you need all of the available travel that comes with the stock ride height (and then some, hence the progressive bump stops).

To get your available travel down to 1", you should have at least 1.03" or 1.06" diameter torsion bars if you intend to stay off of your bump stops (and you should). Your car will handle better too. If you plan on keeping the sub 1" bars at that ride height you'll need the drop spindles. Since the drop spindles cost more than a set of 1.06" bars from Firm Feel, I'd buy the bars instead. Better handling and less bump steer than with the drop spindles. Use your left over cash to buy some decent shocks, like the Bilstein RCD's or Hotchkis Fox's.

I run my Duster with a smidge less than 1" of clearance between the frame and those .375" bump stops. But I also have 1.12" torsion bars. My car sits at about 25" from the ground to the top of the wheel opening with 25.7" tall front tires (275/35/18's). The K-frame is about 5 3/8" off the deck. The car does daily driver duty, typically my primary driver gets about 10k miles a year. Not sure how the roads here compare to those in Winnipeg, but California has the 7th worst roads in the US. http://www.businessinsider.com/these-are-the-states-with-the-worst-roads-2015-7
