Uh, first off he has a 273, so it's not a /6 car.

And actually, the 1.03" bars might make the ride less rough. Because more than likely the ride is rough because he's bottoming the suspension out all the time. Which means the larger bars might actually help solve that problem, not make it worse.

I daily drive my Duster with 1.12" bars. If you don't want your car to handle like a 70's land yacht, you need torsion bars larger than 1". The 1.03" bars are the smallest I'd ever go, I ran 1" bars for awhile and was still totally underwhelmed with the handling of the car. And that was just with 225/60/15's on it, nothing fancy.

Yep, didn't notice his signature line; that's also why I prefaced by reply with 'if'. And I get that a lot of owners like the bigger bars for all the reasons mentioned. When I rebuilt the Dart's front end I kept the .92's because they were less than 10 years old and there were wearable parts that needed replacing. But the biggest enjoyment bang-for-the-buck was having the steering box rebuilt. Went from almost 1/4 turn play in the steering wheel down to almost none.
