I am debating between 1.00 and 1.06 Firmfeel T bars for my 73 Charger.  Want a firm ride ,not harsh.

Street cruiser ,440  , front end all done , bigger sway bars, KYB gas adjusts all around , Mopar HD springs in back ,frame ties.
275/60-15 and 245/60-15 BFG's now (have served me well) , may go to 18 wheels and modern tires next year.
front end lightened about 160 #. a/c removed,fiberglass hood ,aluminium intake and heads, headers. Battery in trunk. Front end lowered slightly with adjusters
original .920 t bars on now.

Interested in reviews with those two choices.

Thanks

I went 1.06 from them and got happy... but I have all stock parts in front. Just manifold changed.

BUT if you got lightened the front end, 1" could be quite enough.

just would like to have a nice affordable option for HiPo front shocks. ( KYB Gas-A-Just in front? they don't exist for 73s and lates, just gets up 72s )
Venezuelan RT 74 400 4bbl, 727, 8.75 3.23 open. Now stroked with 440 crank and 3.55 SG. Here is the History and how is actually: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,7603.0/all.html

I modified the bottom of the LCA  so I can use Chevy Monty Carlo shocks. Now I have a choice of several larger diameter mono tube shocks that I can use.

Oh ok... is true! forgot that!!! I think there is a thread where you posted that...

Actually If I was bought 1" I could got happy too... with 1.06" and lowered ride height, the adjusting bolt barelly threats in. It feels allmost like stock bars mostly because I'm not having all the tension up, due the lower height.

Maybe giving stock ride height, will feel more fimer. I think a 1" bar will thread in more the adjusting bolt, and was to be the same for me
