Torsion Bars... Best Diameter for a Lowered Street / Autocross car?

My plan is almost identical to your setup on the Duster. Knowing what you do about your car's current handling, would you step down to 1.08, or up to 1.14 bars? As I look at options, those two sizes seem to be at a better price point than the 1.12 from Firm Feel. (I'm looking at BAC 1.08 and Sway Away 1.14). I'll be running the Hotchkis Fox shocks as well. Thanks

You'll just have to take a stab at it and then work from there. There is no perfect torsion bar rate, it all depends on what you are trying to do as well as the rest of the combination. Once you have the car running and driving you can start to work on tuning the combination. At that point you might decide to add more rate up front or add rate to the rear or add more bar or reduce the bar or revalve the shocks or change air pressure in the tires or add tire or whatever.
