K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

Since you have a car with a full RMS system and have since gone on to build a car with a torsion bar set up, I'd have to imagine that there was still something lacking about your RMS car? Afterall, if the RMS is the perfect solution, why waste your time doing something different?

You have either not read my posts on this or you have very poor reading comprehension. In this very thread I have laid out when I think a coilover system is warranted and when a torsion bar is.

The reason I am building my Valiant with the torsion bars is simply about traditions. I am building a Green/Red Brick kinda deal. Simply following a plan for a certain car. Not necessarily building a restomod.



I’ll state it again. You can have more into a torsion bar system if you are building full tilt (ie. Viper brakes, Borgeson box, Delrin, welding, sand blasting, gusset kit, V2 SPC arms …). Sure, an industrious guy can look for used stuff, wait for sales, get discounts but when it comes to retail and buying all the best of the best parts then you spend a bit more on torsion bar systems.
