Rebuilding the front suspension

straightlinespeed said
Have a couple questions. I need to rebuild the front suspension/steering on my Scamp and will be doing it all. The one thing I decided at last minute to do is the torsion bars, I think..

I still have the stock bars in the car.. Does anyone know what a 71 Scamp came with, size wise???

Depends on engine and whether or not the car has air conditioning. For instance a 318 car with A/C uses the same bars as a 340 car. A 318 w/o A/C uses the same bar as a 225 w/ A/C.

Right now I have the front lower than factory ride height. I like the look of the wheels tucked up a bit. I have about 1/2-3/4" before the bump stops (its been awhile since I've looked). I just know its not sitting on the bump stops. I want to stiffen up the car in turns so I was thinking of buying the PST 1.03 bars but would like to retain the slightly lowered look in the front. Will I be able to do that with those bars??

Yes. If the bars are properly "clocked", there will be enough adjustment to drop the front end where it is now.
