rough rider

Thank you again.
I appreciate your wisdom. I have read a few other posts you have made as have others on the offset bushings. Makes sense, wish I knew about that when I bought all my parts. Ah well.....if new T-bars are in the budget, so will new bushings be.

For now, I will see if I can improve enough to drive this summer. This car is meant to be a fun car to cruise around town with the kids. Needs to be safe, but not a high performer.

No problem!

If you don't mind raising the ride height and getting a new alignment you can probably make do with the torsion bars you already have. You just need some more clearance to stay off the bump stops so the ride is better. And if you raise the front end some you may be able to accomplish what you need based on your application. Larger bars would be good and they'll make the car safer, but they don't necessarily have to be something you get before you can use the car as long as you don't might raising it up some. I do think they're a worthwhile addition for the long term though. PST makes a 1.03" bar that a lot of people here use successfully and are happy with.
