   i have seen adverts for uprated torsion bars. does anyone know if this is something worth doing or will it not make a difference?

   Depends what dampers you intend on using at the rear and what torsions you have at current. Standard torsions (vtr/s) will be fine for spax, apex, koni etc. setups.

   tbf, a fairly standard rear end is perfectly fine. Just uprated dampers can do the trick even with 325lb springs at the front. Obviously not Black Caps or other higher specced dampers on standard bars though. However even then it isnt overly bad.
   
   Uprated shocks, nothing more than B8s will be fine, standard trsion bars, polyrace mounts, 24mm ARB and jobs a good en!
