Will new torsion bars correct that POS, bucket-o-bolts feel I have?
Brand? Um, mine I guess.
I built them myself using 1.5" x 3", .120" wall tube. I sectioned the tubing in the back and used 1/8" plate to extend the connectors up to cover the frame rails all the way back to the spring mounts. I also boxed the end of the tube where I sectioned it. I then used some 1/8" thick angle to make the front landing plates. In the rear they're further reinforced by the torque boxes overlapping them.
I used 1.5 x 3" tube so I wouldn't have to cut the rear floor pan. The 1.5" tube sits nicely against the floor. So nicely that I could weld them to the rear floor pan if I wanted to. Maybe one of these days when I've got the carpet out for something else.
The car feels very solid, no squeaks or creaks. Door gaps are all maintained when jacking the car up or sitting on jackstands.
