Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?
No expert here..... but wanted a corner carver with maybe a track day or autox event here and there.
I went with a .998 (pretty sure it was, just under an inch anyhow) boxed in the lca's, factory sway bar, kyb shocks, etc.
It is insane what that has done for the handling. I don't even have the right wheels and tires on it yet, but it'll go around exit ramps like it is on steel rails. I'm working on the wheels and tires now, and I believe it will be all the more impressive.
what differently: I will switch to a Billstein shock at some point, upgrade to an aftermarket (thicker) sway bar, upgrade my rear springs (mopar super stock springs, NOT IDEAL) add rear disc brakes (not handling per say, but stopping is also good) may go with adjustable strut rods, and tubular uppers for better caster adjustment and a firm feel steering box.
This torsion bar is a great choice for something stiff that handles well, but not rattling your teeth out going down the road. That said, I may one day try the 1" bars too.
Good luck. Have fun! These cars can handle.
