Is it worth getting coil over shocks while still have torsion bars?

Was thinking of just keeping Qa1 shocks, the torsion bars and a sway bar front and rear. however I have the option of swapping the shocks for coil overs. Is it worth it?

Car is a fun street driver hopefully around 250Hp :).

thanks.

Why do you want two springs on each front corner?

Friend of mine offered me a set of new front shocks, with the coil over. They were quite cheap and good brand/quality.

Wasn't sure if it would make a difference though...

Unless I were building a drag car and trying to eliminate every ounce of weight I could, I wouldn't bother with coil overs.

To use coil overs properly you really need to get rid of the t-bars, do some work on the lower A-arms so they don't separate from the bushings, and reinforce the top shock mount. :shock:
