1.03 PST Torsion Bars

it sucks to have to pony up an additional $150 for the firm feel bars, but i gotta do what i gotta do. i dont like the fact that the pix show the adjuster way too close to the framerail. i think some of these guys are missing the point of the pix by looking at the rubber bump stops on the LCA, thats not the issue, the adjusting cams will smack the frame under a hard deflection way before the arm bottoms out on the rubber stops. the bar adjusting cams hitting the framerails under full deflection when hitting a bad bump in the road is the issue. firm feel 1.06 bars are in the worx for me, just gotta get a little more overtime at work and i will be getting them.

PST is usually very good with their stuff. i have never had problems with them in the past. so i cant see why they wouldent listen to the people who are using this product. the pix showing the adjuster cams hanging way out above the LCA is very telling. i dont think it should be much of a big deal to have their manufacturer re index the bars a bit more.

if you want to lower the front end, a torsion bar adjustment should only be used for about 1" anyways. any lower than that and the lower ball joints can come close to and possibly pinch under full deflection. there used to be special rebuildable lower ball joints with a corrrected angle for B body cars back when mopars ran nascar in the 60s and 70s to eliminate this pinch point. i have seen these at my friends place. his dad used to race ARCA back in the early 70s. i believe he said either MOOG or TRW made these but now when he calls them up about replacement parts for these special ball joints they wont talk to him about them, and hang up, pretty weird if you ask me. however these special "corrected" lower ball joints were used to allow the torsion bars to be used to lower the car and not pinch the lower ball joint on the LCA since the rules dictated stock spindles be used.

nowadays if you want to drop the front more than 1" i recommend drop spindles as the easy and proper way to do it.
