Torsion Bar Costs/Recommendations

[resq302]

would it be cost effective if you should have it repowder coated and then sent back to them?

I was unaware that they powder coat them and am wondering how that holds up on something that twists back and fourth constantly??

I got a quick question,I have a 68 charger and I'm about to install my torsion bars,thay are originals that I sand blasted and got powder coated.I do know that there is a left and right,but what end do i install them.Do I put the end that has the L stamped in it faceing the back of the car or do i put it toword the front?

at this point I just ordered a new set of MP 0.96" from mancini and I'll try and sell mine used at a discount to someone who wants to lower their car. Don't want to deal with them anymore...

These T-bars are making me wonder if proper travel and control can be had by these lowering bars... I think if I were to lower my front end I would probably go with lowering spindles.. Not that I have looked into it, but off the top of my head these make me wonder.....

Front to back doesn't matter, but I think the factory installed the letters in the back.  I also think the line on the end is placed vertical.

When it comes to Mopar suspensions, always call Firm Feel first.  They make the best stuff, and have a lot of experience making Mopars handle.

I have their STage III steering box, 1.18 bars, tubular uppers, road race rears, heavy duty ties, sways and bushings on my 72 Rallye and it transformed the car.  It's got crap rubber on it now, but it corners flat, no roll and rides good.  Very modern feel to it, with great steering adn feedback.

Talk to FF first!

I've been looking at those Firm Feel steering boxes.  Are they just a drop in replacement?  How would you say "Stage 3" feels like?  I would love to get feedback and firmness like my '99 Firebird does, as it's just right IMO...

I like the manual box, except at a complete stop.  Can't imagine the Stage III would be stiffer than that.
