Torsion bar recommendation - 07/12/23 09:24 PM
I just finished upgrading my front suspension with new hotchkis upper control arms, qa1 lower control arms, hotchkis adjustable strut rods and steering rods, qa1 double adjustable shocks, hotchkis 1 1/4" front sway bar and 13/16" rear sway bar and new ball joints. I'm looking for a recommendation on what to do with the torsion bars. It currently has the original small block size bars in it ( 0.88? I believe?). I put a 528 hemi in the car, but the engine is all aluminum so I don't think there is much added weight over an all iron small block. The car will be mainly street driven with maybe a few trips to the drag strip. I don't care about a stiff ride, but I also wasn't sure if there is such thing as too big of a torsion bar that won't work well with the other upgrades that I have, or how much the bigger bars hurt the weight transfer and traction. Any recommendations on brands either? Thanks
