I prefer a stiffer suspension. Car as stock is very soft.
Any recommendations on torsion bar sizes?
My 84 Targa had 22/29s with Sports and was great though I feel the softness/twistyness of the Targa unibody aided in making the ride both comfortable and sports purpose.

I'm using 22/28 in my '82 with Bilstein sports in my '82 SC. I kind of wish I had gone with 21/28 as the front feels too stiff in relation to the rear more situations than not. I only really get oversteer in high speed sustained corners or when I trail-brake way too much on track. On the road the front end feels like it's getting pounded over bumps that the rear absorbs without complaint, and it's pretty susceptible to front lock-up under braking.
Even with the car as stiff as it is I still deal with a lot of body roll to the point that 200 treadwear and below tires will be too grippy and just scrub the shoulders even at max front camber (with de-cambered ball joints) The rears have more adjustability so can still handle it. I just haven't bitten the bullet of upgrading the swaybars on the car, but it definitely needs it.
