Re: sway bars

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The .920s are good if your looking for steer ability on a Big block equipped
car, want to increase your load carrying capacity or help level / stiffen
the car out on tight corners.  The .960s are for road race applications &
load increasing a high option car with a RB or Hemi.  Both can slow you down
at the drag strip and take the driving enjoyment out of a cruiser.  .890s
are good for all round driving.  .810s are good for low option 6 cylinder
and A engines.  Now if your drag racing with a little street driving the 
810s & 90/10 shocks are the way to go for weight transfer.  The heaver bars
work the same up & down and restrict weight transfer to the rear wheels and
actually unload your suspension a short distance off the line about the time
you hit second letting your tires spin instead of accelerating faster.  When
your tires are spinning your not accelerating to your fullest potential,
ultimately slowing you down from point A to point B.  The bottom line .890s
with a good set of shocks for best all round drive ability.  I would invest
in a sway bar before heaver T bars unless they needed to be replaced anyway.

Ollie,
 
I just did torsion bars and it made a 200% improvement in the ride and
handling. If you goto http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/dtrain.html
just past 3/4 of the way down the page, they list :
P5249158 .960" diameter-improved"B/RB" and hemi handling. 188.00
 
Yes...that's right $188. Everyone else wants $300!!!
 
I just put these exact bars in my car and they ride great! I'm not
100% sure I need a sway bar now, but I'll probably do one eventually
anyway.
