Home built rack and pinion+ coilover build.

I am going to run the lower control arm just like the factory did. For the limited abuse this car will see, I don't think there will be any problem. If you think about it, the torsion bars may not have given much lateral support anyway. There is clearance in the T bar sockets, so the arm (pin) could move some anyway if it were weak. Also consider that the main support for the front is now the upper shock mounts, rather than the torsion bars. So that takes a lot of the load off the inner end of the lower control arm.
