Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?

I was asking about shock tuning..... simply what the car is doing to to make you want to soften or stiffen the compression / rebound of the shock. I was hoping the guys with the experience could give some simple guidelines.

Maybe it is just common sense like...
if the front is diving too much on breaking....add some compression (front)
if I want more rear traction (transferring the weight) .........remove some of the rebound (front)...keep the rear compression soft

It is a given regarding the need to maintain maximum tire contact, the question was HOW thru shock tuning.

BTW...I still like my go-cart / strut set-up....years ago when we ran dirt flat track with 3 and later 4-wheelers, the guys with any suspension were slow......but maybe that was more like drifting cause we slid thru the corners while the guys with suspensions were busy trying to keep their tires on the ground and not bicycling.


sorry....didn't mean to hi-jack the thread.....back to your discussion on torsion bars and handling.
