Trying to figure out what is the difference between sway bars, anti roll bars and torsion bars. Expensive stuff - Is it worth it for the road if I do no autocross?

The Torsion bar is a spring, it replaces the typical round wound spring on the front suspension.
Sway bars and anti-roll bars are the same thing IMHO. Some are adjustable. They keep the body level and as you go through a corner when the inside wheel wants to lift off the ground they help to keep it planted. I'm sure the experts will chime in shortly. |
