Ultimately I would rather stick with the torsion bar since that is the
history of the car and one of its unique properties; however, would it be
possible to replace the torsion bar with something a little more mundane.
Maybe use a spring and then add stronger struts to make up for the limited
lift supplied by the spring (assuming a spring does not exist that could
completely replace the bar)?
That would give you some redundancy (safety issues raised earlier),
potentially minimize cost (since the solution isn't as exotic as the bar),
and it seems like (for the mechanical engineer types which does not include
me) it would be relatively easy to design from off the shelf components.
BTW, has anyone looked at stronger struts?
Any thoughts?
