I've got a Dart with a small-block 340 that wallows about town like a beached whale. Instead I want a car that navigates the crowd like a hyperactive debutante: a nimble. tight street ride.
So before going crazy I wanted to sanity check my proposed set-up by you guys:
0.920 torsion bars
heavy-duty 1 1/4 front sway bar
rear sway bar
regular Koni shocks all round
Questions:
#1 Should I even consider 0.990 bars in combo with sway bars, or are the 0.920 overkill with the rest of the setup?
#2 Will I even notice the rear sway bars? Word seems to be that they may help counteract any tendancy to understeer? Does anybody think they're must have?
#3 Presumably the adjustable Koni shocks should be set quite stiff to match the t-bar, no?
Any other tips or suggestions? I also plan front discs and a refurbished power steering unit from FirmFeel or similar. I'm actually in Australia, so parts are a lot harder than in the States. I'm new to all this, but got the mopar bug now, and discovering my inner rrrrrevhead Thanks..
