I'm not necessarily against the T-bars--Mopars had them, and those cars handle pretty well.
One question I've never had suffeciently answered is whether or not "cranking down" the torsion bars affects the ride quality.
the reason I've been looking at swapping cross members is because people I've talked to keep saying "It'll swap over to a later one, and then you get factory discs, better steering box, readily-available parts, etc." so I thought I'd do some checking here.
The big advantage for me would be converting to factory disc brakes and power steering...but I might be able to just swap spindles, add brake brackets, etc. I'll have to check, but I'm sure one of our vendors sells a new steering box.
I'll have to get more into it to find out.
I'd prefer to get disc brakes, a modern power steering ratio, lower the front end two inches, and keep the torsion bars.
