What would be the better set up for handling on a 70 Dart?

1 1.03 t-bars with sway bars front and rear, kyb shocks, stock rear springs.

2 Stock t-bars with sway bars front and rear, kyb shocks, stock rear springs.

Both set ups would be run with 17" wheels 225/45/17 tires.

Thanks!

#1 but it will be a rougher ride.

Upgrading to Hotchkis Bilstein shock would be a big improvement over KYB's too. But if you are doing other suspension work (bushing, ball joints) the T-bars aren't much more time and labor. You can go back and upgrade the shocks later and it's an easy install.

Close call between T-bars (~$250 more) and Bilsteins ($400-$150 for KYB's more). But I'd go with the T-bars.

I already have the shocks I was thinking that the bars would be more headache than cure. The reason I ask this is matching the spring rates so the car works. Hotchkiss leaves the t-bars out of their package so I was thinking a higher rate wasn't as important as to having matched stock rates.
