can you believe it? another torsion bar question?? 1.03" vs 1.08"

I honestly think a rear away bar is a necessity on these cars. They are very understeer-prone and it really takes a lot to make them oversteer. I know a lot of old-timers warn about spinning out with a rear away bar but I think that only applies if you're running stock skinny rear tires and haven't stiffened up the front suspension at all.

Most things I assumed about "good handling" from reading what most people on here have said were blown out of the water once I actually went to the track and pushed my car past its limits. Having low body roll in cornering does not equate to strong lateral grip and unfortunately that's what most guys assume. It all has to work together as a system. Leaving the rear suspension stock and soft but adding thick torsion bars and a front sway bar will make it feel flatter in the corners but the car will actually understeer worse when it's pushed than with stock soft front suspension.
I completely agree with you. Hence why I said “at the very least…”.
