suspension upgrade

I haven't driven anything modern in ages but I think if you want to equal the handling of a modern Ford Focus you will need to go a bit further than just the above.

- Suggest to use 1.06" or more likely, larger 1.12" bars.
- Strut towerbrace... There are (also) a lot of other areas in your car that could use reinforcing aswell. I would start with fabbing your own subframe connectors first.
- 8-3/4" with A-body housingwidths only come with smallpattern axles. Axle-change to LBP would be in order. (DrDiff)
- Cam-bolts, your car already has them.
- Wider front wheels on a Dart need a bit more offset to the inside than the rears usually because of the wider track and fender clearance.

Doing things one at a time is also how I did my car.
This way you get a better understanding how every mod is adding up to the overal package.

As for the torsionbars, if someone today would offer me their, 1.06 bars in exchange for my 1" bars, I would have my car on a lift that evening.
