Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?

MRGTX said

Which torsion bars did you swap i to your A-Body?

What were your goals? How did you make out? What would you have done differently?

How did you match a set of shocks?

What considerations did you make for the rear shock/spring to keep the suspension working in harmony?

As always, any input is much appreciated!

Not an A body, but, I went from a 318 to a 400 in my B body Magnum. The bars went from OE to OE BB bars from a '78 Cordoba P code car.

This stopped a lot of roll, sway and up and down movement. The extra weight of the 400 was very apparent. I also coupled the swap (later) with KYB shocks in all 4 corners. I suggest a better shock absorber myself. They were to long in full compression.

On the wife's ride I went with the basic QA1's in all 4. '67 Cuda/360/904.
