1.03 PST Torsion Bars

I will have to agree with you superdave. The reason I bought mine was that I got to see a 71' Duster at the carshow with PST's and I was sold...The car had an iron block 360 with Eddy aluminum heads, aluminum intake, and headers...believe it or not that engine weighs nearly the same as my slant 6 which is all cast iron. Therefore, I never really considered the pre load issue but I can see where it would be a very valid point. It seems that the RB/B guys, epsecially if they're all cast iron, would need the adjustment. I guess without the adjustment, these 1.03 bars are ample a pretty slim market (specifically related to front end weight). I do hope they take care of you and GMachinedartGt or at least listen to what real world customers are saying. For me, they're great but for others, you have a valid point superdave!:prayer:

i can guarantee the adjusters were BOTTOMED out on that duster! the scamp was on its bump stops with next to no adj. left with no front clip on it! i have installed many bars even .810 bars in big block a-bodies that had more then enough adj. left in the bolt. you need offset in the hex to get proper ride height not just a bigger bar. if someone asked my personal opinion on these hood props.. i mean torsion bars i would say stick with stock or a piece of re-bar because you will get better results. don't waste your money. if you buy them, put them in, and you don't like them, be sure you don't put a single nick or scratch in them because you will not get a refund even though you were sold an inferior product! :pukerigh:
