   You wont need torsion bars if you are having coiloveres on the back.

   Yes you can use bigger torsion bars from the vt models, your coilover kit will be most likely come with uprated shocks for the rear.

    It is when you explain yourself so badly.
    
    Torsion bars and ARB's are a direct swap.

    Forget just putting the bars in. Put the whole beam in and benefit from rear disks and better looks.
