Corner weighting a car with torsion bars is goign to be a %@$!^ I think. Actually, what's more upsetting is that I think the Milano is so flexible that my efforts to adjust the rear sway bar only seem to make that end lose or gain rear grip, instead of helping the front end gain or lose grip. I wish I could run a cage 24/7.

My alignment is about 2.4 degress negative camber, 0 toe (tire wear) and only 1.4 degrees of caster b/c of rubbing issues. I'm using 225/45/16 tires on 16X7.5 et37 wheels. Bushings are poly in the rear, and stock up front besides poly caster bushes.

Do you know of any other sources for torsion bars in the US besides AR Ricambi and Performatek? I'm looking for about a 30mm bar in the states.
You should really figure out the corner weights! They are generally very important when you start messing with suspension dynamics.

I thought you needed your backseats so you couldn't run a cage?
