Torsion Bars

["Steve Galezowski" <stevenlulu@xxxx>]

I have beefed up the suspension on my 300L with a heavier-than-stock front anti-sway bar, rear sway bar, koni adjustable shocks and an increase in the rear spring rate by adding a leaf. The only outstanding item is that I find the front spring rate to be a little soft for my liking. So I am wondering if there are higher rate torsion bars available that would fit the car. I believe that a "heavy-duty" suspension was optional in '65 but I don't know if that option included higher rate torsion bars. If it did, presumably those torsion bars would have a larger diameter than standard. My torsion bars are .975 inches in diameter.

I know heavy duty aftermarket torsion bars are available for B and E bodies but so far I have not come across any for C bodies.

Can anyone comment on the possibility of obtaining higher spring rate torsion bars?

Thanks.
