Thread: Why is it? tha-------32 fords

BSA Bob, when I bought my first sway bar I got it from Deuce Factory as a kit. I found that for my application it was not heavy enough. I am trying a torsion bar from Shroeder Racing this time. I chose a base diameter bar that had lots of spring rates, so I can change the bar out to get the handling I want. I bought the arms from Speedway Motors and the hiems from Summit. I will be fabricating the rearend housing tabs to mount it. As for the bar mounts themselves, I am using the Deuce Factory mounts, I just machined up new bushings to allow the larger bar. Hope this helps.

I run as soft a spring in my coilovers as I can get away with. My coilovers are QA1's with 110lb springs. Usually run the rebound in about 6 to 10 clicks, just enough to keep the rear from oscillating from side to side. I try to get as soft a ride as possible, which is an oxymoron for these old small cars. Sooo, I use the bar to help tighten up the roll quality. Hope some of this info helps.
