Take a look at the post above but 3rd_gear_Ted
where its not even necessary to replace the torsion bar but to supplement it. Thats even a simpler but still effective change

If you are into efficiecy how do you want to measure it?

1. If efficiency is Labour involved and cost (leave the torsion bars in place and supplement)

OR

2. Remove the torsion bars and spec heavier coils and brace the shock towers(if you believe efficiency is having fewer parts)

Having said all of that, modern shocks with all of the cool new digressive internal valving methods are absolute magic
