So right now i have my front end set up for ball joint with a torsion bar. Is there any way to make the torsion bar (inactive) or is there something i can get so i can still use what i already have? I would like to do this because i want to run coil overs instead of torsion bars.

I believe what the guys are doing is removing the torsion and replacing it woth a threaded rod.

If you remove the torsions then you will need air shocks or coil overs to replace them. Something has to hold the Buggy up.

i would reinforce the ends of the arms, were the rods would come through. the little end caps are really thin.
