I think if I was gonna go that route Id look at putting the coils down at the pivot for the swing arm. That would leave it cleaner back there & the spring would be located where the spring would more able to take the work. Youd have to include a limiter to keep it from throwing the swing arm down too far when ya get off or hit a big bump., Now, how big would it need to be? Dangfino.. I had a Duster that had torsion bars. It just had a 6 banger & they were pretty fat, but they were pretty long, too..That design youre talking about isnt really a torsion bar, its a spring, & w/o a shock Id expect it to bounce like the dickens going down the road,,but you mite be able to do a monoshock with some pretty good work in the frame, You ever seen a car w/o shocks? Theyre funny to watch,, I only saw one, when I was about 6. Yea, it was that memorable,,
