I modified a little my Valiant's suspension... what's your opinion?
At first I wasn't sure about it because I didn't want my car too low... but I think the hight is quite all rigth...
I think it looks a little more agressive

Yesterday I changed the left torsion bar.

I replaced the original for a national one. Its a Bator.

When I looked at the old bar, it had some numbers and letters... what do they mean?

Something like an "R" ("right" I supouse) and a B (from "Back")
and sth like this: DD
CD ????

What do this last letters mean??

How does it affect handling? Looks like it might be an improvement.

Really it is! in road it feels good... in urban driving it may touch in any bad road, but its not very commom...

It think its an improvement. Feels confortable, and makes me feel sure when I drive for miles.

The fron is easy, with the torsion bar regulation...

The rear was pulled down by adding a pair of hard wood cubes between the suspension pack and the diferenttial. So I didn`t need to modify anything else... just added the wood and two larger "U" irons (the ones which press the suspention pack)
