Corner Balance Question

Car is a 74. Corner balance today is nearly perfect.
I'm planning on swapping front and rear torsion bars for slightly stronger ones. If I get the ride height, as measured at all four corners, back where it is today, am I still corner balanced? (I realize that my rear wheels may need realignment.)

Interesting question. I'm not sure but my gut feel, after having watched Steve Alarcon corner balance two of my cars, is NO. But that is just a wag on my part. I look forward to hearing from the suspension experts. And yes, I'm almost positive you'll need an alignment too.

Not necessarily. Each corner can affect the ride height of other corners. You must confirm the corner is where it is not affected by any other corner setting. Do a search under tripod corner balancing for more info.
