I just replaced my early CCX(3057, street use) stock torsion bars with new HD racing units this Spring, forget the source but are online and have have lots of racing XKE goodies. Installed to the CCX HD specs they are noticeably stiffer but much flatter cornering then stock. I think they highlight the need to rebuild/replace the stock Koni shocks. Agree on all the advantages of coilovers (looking for the conversion Mickmate mentioned when available) but the torsion bar setup seems to work very well for street use, I would think propely set up track use would work just as well.
