Brumby rear torsion bar swap.

If i had a spare brumby... would swaping the rear torsion bar into my hatch be worth while? (the hatch currently runs a Wagon torsion bar)

I heard a rumour that brumby rear torsion bars were beafed up to handle access wait in the tray.

Also is there any visable difference??

i got an entire spare brumby... so no i don't want it... just want to know if there is any physical difference.

If there is im sure Mattack will snatch yours up if it's a benfit.

Did you manage to find out if there is a difference?

Your the only one with a Hatch Dave...
But i put a complete wagon assembly in my Brumby with no issues after a broke both torsion bars.
Felt a little softer, can't comment on ride height, i wound it up straight away.
I wouldn't think it would make enough difference to bother unless it needed to come out already.

I don't know about wagon torsion bars but the coupe ones are lighter than Brumby ones.
