Are /6 torsion bars the same as 318?
they also have an .810 bar for the very early a cars. Lawrence
The .810 bar was not an OE bar, it was offered by Direct Connection/Mopar Performance
for drag racing applications. It is not recommended to run too small a bar on the street just
as too big. Smaller bars have to be "wound tighter" to support the same load as a larger one,
which results in a shorter life due to fatigue stress.As stated above,too stiff a bar on "real
world" roads results in a lot of airborn time for the tires,but the car will be much more stable
under braking and obviously cornering on smooth surfaces.Remember,just as fast as hi-rate
t-bars gain load on jounce,they lose it on rebound.Many of my favorite roads are winding and
full of crests,which my stock suspended horizon w/205/50vr15's could outpace my ShelbyZ
because the tires stayed on the road longer B4 taking flight.
If you're going to primarily cruise & drag your ride,you can wind the bars to the orig. ride
ht. and go.If you want better cornering a stabilizer bar is the first step, then by all means get
better bars, but unless you plan on track time .890/.910 are better all around picks.
