.092 HEMI torsion bars

72Fourspeed · Jun 15, 2016

Was just offered a pair of 092 t bars for $150. Will I feel the difference from my stock bars ? my 72 Roadrunner is 400/4speed with 089 bars.

No.
Make the jump to 1.06 bars or bigger. Even the graph above is wildly conservative. New cars have a higher spring rate than the 1.06 bars deliver. I run 1.15s in my aluminum headed 440/493 70 Charger. No, the ride is not stiff or bouncy. Be sure to also install better shocks. No KYBs, no Wal Mart $15 shocks either...Bilsteins, Fox, Koni...something over $80 each.

I just put Bilsteins on up front, going to do some spring work out back, then Bilsteins there..
