Hi All! going through the front end of my Satellite. What I have so far:

PST Polygraphite Super front end kit
RCD Bilstein front shocks
Solid X and torsion member "bushings"

Car will be a iron headed 5.9 magnum with A/C, and A518 trans.

Now for the question, I want to order my torsion bars. Has anyone used the 1.06 bars from Firm Feel? If so, with a small block, does the nose sit too high?

It shouldn't matter the size of the bar for ride height as long as bar is indexed properly. I bought 1.03 bars for my Duster and am not worried about ride height, haven't installed them yet. But I did find out that if you change bar size, you must get good shocks to match, don't use stock type shocks or you will get a rough ride, they don't have proper valving.

I got the Race Car Dynamics tuned Bilsteins, the only decent shock I can find for the 73+. Even with my current T-bars, they made a night and day difference!
 
I am using 1.06's on my 73 Roadrunner with Bilsteins. The ride height adjusting screwsare not in very far, but the ride height is perfect! Here is what it looks like
