Torsion Bar Upgrade for '65 Barracuda Formula S

KYB’s are not adjustable. And no. KYB’s are hot garbage.

I say that after running them for 10’s of thousands of miles on my Challenger before upgrading to RCD Bilstein shocks. It was like driving a different car, a night and day kind of improvement with the only change being the KYB’s going in the trash where they belong.

KYB’s are a kind of band aid for guys that want to keep the original torsion bars. The combination of a really soft torsion bar, with a really stiff shock, results in a ride that feels somewhat “normal” in fairly basic driving conditions. Handling performance remains trash, because neither component is doing the job it should be doing.

But paired with a torsion bar of an appropriate size for a modern radial tire, KYB’s will rattle your teeth out. And give lousy handling too.
Thanks for the info. I'm getting in touch with PST and Bergman Auto Craft. I really didn't know much about the KYBs, and I wanted to install some new shocks when I put the rear axle back in so I could move the body around (the front is on casters still) I feel kind of silly now that I find out they're not adjustable, always do your homework!
