Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?
1" Tbars
Front swaybar only, Hellwig
Moog offset bushings, poly everywhere else.
17" wheels / 215/50 tires

Rear: QA1 adjustable shocks.
7 blade leafsprings per side.

What were your goals? How did you make out? What would you have done differently?
How did you match a set of shocks?
What considerations did you make for the rear shock/spring to keep the suspension working in harmony?
Goals: Dependable daily driver, without the outdated soft stock handling.
Shockmatching: Trial and error.
Went from Monroe sensatrac's at the rear to Bilsteins, to adjustable QA1's. Every change was a noticable upgrade.
I went with adjustable as I wanted to be able to adjust stiffness for dailydriving and possible circuit driving. Also I don't believe in one-size/setting fits all, even more because my car has 2 propane tanks in trunk.
