Which Torsion Bar?
what is the wheel combo on the car? still 5x4" bolt pattern or has it been converted to the larger 5x4.5" (5x114.3)
being it has a 185 series tire on front leads me to believe it has a 4-5" wide wheel in front meaning a 225/60 will not fit with out going to a wider wheel.. get a measurement of the front wheel - if it's 5" wide you can run up to a 205/65-70 which will handle much better than the 185/55 currently on it.. I would also change the rear to a 275/60

Thanks all, noted. cheers.
I was looking at QA1 shocks, I will probably get a set for the car...
The car will be used on the road 99% of its life, at the moment it you hit a corner it is a matter of steering and hoping for the best as the car wallows from left to right. It was a 1/8 mile drag car so I expect the torsion bars are very soft but I will check their size.
I think I got my tyre sizes wrong.
The rears are 295's 15x10 inch wide steel wheels.
The fronts are 225's or so, 15x8 inch steel wheels.
The rears have been mini tubbed and leaf springs moved inward (I know this will not help cornering). I'm not changing the wheels as they look great on the car and they are 2 months old shipped in from the US :D
Can anyone link me to QA shocks? I see they do gas shocks/oil filled ones (better?) and adjustable ones. Can you buy total kits for these?
Also, what is the score with anti roll bars being fitted to these cars, are they a bolt on feature or do they need to be welded to the car?
Thanks!!!
