I was only guessing/assuming that it would be easier off the car to be honest. As I said, I haven't actually done the job before, so can't speak from personal experience.
But I do think that it would possibly be easier to make sure that the torsion bars are moving fairly easily before fitting to the car. When it's on the floor, you can get at all sides of the bars more easily. Once it's mounted on the car, surely you loose some of that accessibility and if they are rusted into the splines, then I guess that access right around them would make the job of freeing them off easier.
