Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?

Thanks for the reply.......looks like shocks (if they came with them as our Mopars did) are required....so much for the go-cart suspension.

soooo.....you run the shocks as soft as you can get away with, but utilize anti-roll bar to control the body roll?....sounds like my favorite street set up

In general, the goal is to run the softest suspension that will work well. The math for the physics and engineering is in Carrol Smith's Tune to Win but I think that sums it up. The better traction of tires in general has upped the roll rates and therefore the resistance needed.

sorry...I should have said ...suspension, not shocks. and was only guessing with a soft suspension, it is necessary to control the body roll with a big anti-roll bar.

for Autocross....what are the basics for tuning the shocks? I appreciate your input.
