preventing headers from hitting pavement

i would go at least .990 bars. our cars are grossly under sprung from the facotry. i have a 67 dart with a 383. alum heads, intake, water pump and housing. alum radiator and the .990 bars in my car still seem soft. my car weighs #2890 with the big block and i want stiffer bars still.

Exactly. 1" bars from Just Suspension or the 1.03's from PST would be a great idea. Even at stock ride height. You'd be amazed how much better your car will handle too.
