Default Sway bars / Torsion Bars: What R U running??

I just ordered up 19mm frt and 16mm rear sways and am considering a switch to 21mm frt and 26mm rear torsion bars. Anybody have any EXPERIENCE with various suspension set ups?

Through my reasearch I've read that rear sways are not necessaryily good on SWB cars like my 67. But it will install more easily than T-bars so I will try it first. Besides sway bar come off as easily as they go on

Brgds, Peter

And the latest progress report on the suspension work......

19mm front bar and 16mm rear bar and Rebel racing frt strut mount for good measure.

This is what happens when I get bored

MMusto - Thank for the reply. 22 & 26 t-bars is what I've heard to be THEE set up for swb cars. Is it extremely stiff? What are you running for wheels and tires?
