A disadvantage is that torsion bars unlike coil springs usually cannot provide a progressive spring rate In most torsion bar systems ride height and therefore many handling feat ures may be changed by simply adjusting bolts that connect the torsion bars to the steering knuckles In most cars with this type of suspension swapping torsi on bars for a different spring rate is

True A coil spring is just a torsion bar twisted into the shape of a coil They both work by twisting It always seemed to me that one of the main benefits to coil springs was the ability to change spring rates more quickly Most street cars don t really need that feature As far as ride quality goes it has been my experience that shock valving plays a much more important part
