I assume those T-bars were made on the factory A/B/E-body 1.25" front and rear hex?
Are those T-bars factory E/B body length?
I think comparing to a late 60's to mid 70's Nascar cup car chassis it out the window. Those T-bars are a different length AND the lower control arms are a different length too. So the calcs to get the wheel rates are a different animal than your stock E/B body LCA and T-bar length. I also would not assume the '70 Trans Am cars uses stock length T-bars and LCA's. Not saying they didn't, but I would want a measurement confirmation.
IMHO, a 230 lbs rear spring on a road course seem like a lot for 1.24" dia E/B-body length torsion bars. But, what was Dick Ross's recomendation/advice?
It looks like you have been racing this same car for the past 3 years? What springs were in it then?
Was there a problem with that spring package?
