Better handling

[moparpollack]

What would be the better set up for handling on a 70 Dart?

1 1.03 t-bars with sway bars front and rear, kyb shocks, stock rear springs.

2 Stock t-bars with sway bars front and rear, kyb shocks, stock rear springs.

Both set ups would be run with 17" wheels 225/45/17 tires.

Thanks!rayer:

Options 1 and 2 are the same except for the torsion bars.

I would say go with the upgraded bars.

If your going to do any street driving I'm thinking I would go with number 2 first. Then stiffen up the front with the bigger t bars if needed at a later date.

 

[dusterdan]

how stiff are 1.03 bars? Will those make his ride unbearable?

I would stick with the .92 bars, shocks and both sway bars...unless you are doing some serious track work.

The sway bars will stiffen the suspension-in turns-without beating you up all the time.........
