Chasing torsion bars

Some of Firm Feels bars are 15*, I believe the bigger ones are less than that though. Hard to imagine a 1.22" bar with anything other than zero offset. Heck I'd think you'd need negative offset for those suckers.

I've heard the Hotchkis bars were too low, not enough spring rate for that amount of offset. I actually thought they had a recall on those bars, I don't think you can still get them for A-bodies.

I've heard some of those issues with PST and Just Suspension as well, although I was perfectly happy with the ride height with the 1" JS bars on my Duster. But its a small block car and I like a lowered stance in the front, so that may be part of it too.

I never heard of a recall on the Hotchkis bars, I know I still have my receipt on them.
You are correct about not having any spring rate to them, I think the stock .820 bars worked better.
