60-62 Torsion Bar Front Suspension
I know we've talked a lot about how the ride is better, but are there any Engineers here that can tell me why it's a nicer ride than front coil springs?

Re: 60-62 Torsion Bar Front Suspension
I always liked this kind of suspension..
Its probably the different spring rate between twisting a torsion bar and squeezing a coil spring. Im not an Engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
