recommended big block torsion bars

[ericindc]

So I am putting a 440 in my challenger since the 318 is blown.  I need to upgrade the suspension. I am going with the stock rear bog block springs, but for the front, Im not sure whether 1.0" torsion bar is ok, or whether I would need larger, like a 1.06" or 1.08".  I am also putting on aftermarket front and rear sway bars.

It will just be a driver but I would like it to handle better than my CJ7 (although not as rough a ride).

I went with 1 " after asking on here. The car is  still being worked on so I can't tell you how the ride is. I have a 440 also. I got mine from Just Suspension

Just a driver will work very nicely with 1.0" bars. Considerably firmer than your old 318 bars without being harsh. Consider a step up to some good shocks too, like an Edelbrock or fixed valved Koni or single adjustable QA1.

Are 318 and 383 bars the same?

no , the 383 bars a .91 , the 318 are . 88 or .86

[txchallenger]

So are the .960 considered the 1" ones.....Mancini Racing offers them up to .960" and advertises them as Improved "B/RB" and Hemi handling    I havn't seen 1" advertised


hope I didn't hijack this thread

.96 are the next upgrade & are bigger than any production bar used , Mopar has dicontinued any of the larger than .96 bars now so you have to get them from Firm Feel or PST if you want 1"or bigger
