One year on, and I've taken the car to an autocross! Happy to say that the suspension has continued to suspend the car above the road successfully, no failures or breakages.
More notes on feel/stiffness, post-first autocross: it's super communicative and confidence inspiring until a mid-corner bump. If the surfaces you want to go fast on are uneven, like the Colorado Air and Space Port, for example, consider starting with a softer torsion bar and seeing if you want stiffer.
I have to say I vaguely regret going as stiff as I did, but not enough to do anything about it yet. The car was fast, way faster than I expected, and so much fun. As a total novice, I was only 6 seconds off the pace of a 20-year track day/HPDE veteran with slicks, which feels pretty good.
If I get off my butt and find the money next summer, I'll borrow some sensors from an engineering friend before and after swapping in softer torsion bars. Data would be super cool to have.
