I’ve put almost 10,000 miles on my 66’ Dodge Coronet convertable, (4,175lb.). I have aftermarket .960” torsion bars, Firm Feel 1.25” front sway bar, rear sway bar and “Firm Feel” Bilstien gas shocks, (which helped).
The car corners very flat, but has a “dump truck” ride. I am considering changing the torsion bars from .960, to .900 (440 B body).
The car is a cruiser, not a slalom racer. What do you think?
Depends on how much money you're willing to throw at it. If it was my car I'd put a pair of Koni shocks on the front and see if that helps. The Koni shocks are adjustable so you have several different valve settings to try. I've found that the Koni shocks provide the best ride with big torsion bars. The other thing to look at is your suspension bushings. If they aren't all new rubber bushings then maybe think about replacing them. Delrin or Poly bushings will ride harsher than OEM rubber bushings.
