After having done some further research into this I believe Larry and Justin were in fact correct. I had been informed that the torsion bars functioned differently than they actually do. If you look around on the internet there is a lot of information out there, as well as a lot of misinformation. I read some explanations of they worked and didn't really give it another thought, that was my mistake.
Getting back to your question:
Yes, I believe you could, but not for the reasons I mentioned. Justin(ZEUS) pointed out that my suspension felt stiffer due to the increased angles on the drivetrain and suspension components because now in order to nose-dive, the A-arms and wheels must be forced outwards in order to be able to move downwards. It takes more force because you are now working against leverage to squat the front end. Again, sorry for putting out any bad info.n theory... To decrease nose-dive on braking, could you use Ascinder's method, by re-indexing the torsions at a "lowered" stance, then crank them up to stock height, giving them added tension/firmness?
