[T3] 67 subframe

[Dennis Stiefel]

I've been thinking about putting the torsion out of the SB I have for a
parts car in my FB while I have everything a part.

I have squareback rear bars in my Notch IRS conversion, YES, you do feel
stiffer but it handles better too... so long as you don't lower it!  :-)

Not sure if it's a fair comparison to doing the same with swing though...

I think i might install new torsion bars anyway. I have a Notch actually but
a stiff ride in the back would be good. I plan on towing a tear drop trailer
from time to time. Thanks for the tip!
