Anybody know the equivalent spring rates for some of the larger hollow torsion bars? 21-24 mm. I don't know what, say, '23mm' means in terms of spring rate at the wheel. Any help on where to find, or how to calculate such information would be great! Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the idea. I found another one, btw.

Basically I'm gonna need 21mm hollow bars in the front on 410lb springs in the rear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
.... Although, that calculator is also telling me that my 1" Speedway Engineering bar set at 5-1/2" is a 1203lb swaybar! Could that possibly be right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Whatever it is, it works well!
