Torsion bar Warning

We looked at the condition of the original welds and I think the engineers had it fine considering the give (or twist amount) of a stock bar. The firmer bars (1.08) put a lot more pressure on those original engineered welds. Like I said, I hit that speed bump a little fast (15-20) wanting to see how the car would handle going that fast. Re-enforcing your firmer bars is not that much work and takes this senario out of the picture.

Very true.

But I think production tolerances and variables put your car on the weak end of the spectrum..

I've bent a steel rim and bulged up the shock tower hole, with .99" bars when I went off course once at Willow Springs.

I few years later with 1.14" t-bars, I hit these "speed bumps" at 60-70 mph! (fast foward to 1:40 minute mark)

Both those wacks at and others over the years and the T-bar ancors are fine. Maybe I'm on the lucky end of the production tolerance zone.
