Torsion bars the bigger the better???

racerjoe said

I have 1.08" sway-a-way bars, Hotchkis leafs and Hotckis shocks. The ride is amazing. I just put the shocks on the car, I had KYBs and the ride was terrible. I knew the shocks were the source of the problem from reading comments on this forum, but I'm upgrading things in stages. Now that I have good shocks, I kinda want a stiffer bar, but I doubt I'll get them any time soon.

Yeah the KYB shocks don't work with stiffer torsion bars. They have some sort of valving issue that makes them horrible with stiff torsion bars. With big torsion bars you need a really good shock such as Koni, Bilstein or Hotchkis. I run Koni shocks in all of my cars but Firm Feel likes Bilstein and the guys at Hotchkis hooked up with Fox to design some Mopar shocks that they like.
