T-bars are a very capable design. Porsche 911's had them front and rear until the 90's. It's just a spring on a double wishbone suspension. Coil, T-bar, coilover, cantilever leaf, ... The geometry acts independent of which spring you choose. You can get progressive rate coil springs which is a nice feature if you choose to use it.

This is Tim Werner's 68 Valiant is one of the fastest street Mopars on a road course. It will be a lot faster now that it is getting a 500+ hp motor (natually aspirated, no F.I.) built with road racing in mind. There should be an article detailing the motor build in an upcomming Mopar Action magazine. It's got T-bars and no brainer rear stock leaf springs. It's well sorted and optimized by a experianced road racer owner.

Again this is Tim Werner's 68 Valiant (not my car):
