Posting this on behalf of a guy over on the oc

quote:
Right after having no luck in finding the torsion bars I want/need, i've made a few calls and can now offer a group buy on custom torsion bars for the 306, but can also include them for the 106 and 205 ones too.

Your choice of size, however thick you want. Anything over 23mm will need the trailing arms to be removed as the bar won't physically fit through the splined holes, but the splined ends will remain the same size so no actual machining work is needed.

Confirmed prices for these are £220 a set if less than 5 names, £180 a set if more than 5 names. Any bars over 25mm will come with a surcharge due to the extra material used.

These are the same guys that a certain well known performance Peugeot company use that retail at £324 so there is potential for a MASSIVE saving here. To put things in perspective, Peugeot Sport 23.5mm bars were retailed at 200Euros EACH when you could buy them new. Xsara 21mm bars, with Peugeot staff discount at cost + 10% come in at £190 new.

As you can see the prices are exceptional considering you could go as hardcore as 25mm for the same price as new Xsara VTS bars!

Spring rates

18mm 90lb/inch
19mm 110lb/inch
20mm 135lb/inch
21mm 165lb/inch
22mm 195lb/inch
23mm 235lb/inch
24mm 280lb/inch
25mm 330lb/inch

I've also been assured these are multi-stage heat treated and made of the same material as Peugeot Sport bars (EN47 iirc?) so no chance of sagging after a few miles.

As said, without mentioning names, the company they supply has never had any complaints from customers, and these direct from the manufacturer come in at a massive 45% saving

I'm definitely in for a set, add your name to the list if you want some. And remember, this isn't limited to 306's, so share around other forums if you know anyone else with a Peugeot or Citroen that wants a set!

I'm leaving this running for a week or so, I will be ordering my bars on the 31st so if anyone else is in they need to commit for the end of the month.

1. cwspellowe - 306 23mm bars



Now including ARB's too
Upto and including 25mm £90
Over 25mm £100
Hybrid £125

If you want 21mm bars though you might as well go to peugeot as they are cheaper. For the rest though thats pretty good.

Eliot stick them on eBay. Someone will buy them!

More than 5 people and they are £180 a set upto 25mm. Already got 3 names down on OC so could easily reach that target. Maybe get a slight bit more off if we get 10 people?

Do they do 309 length bars? If so I'm interested but would really like someone to have tested one and confirm they are of the same quality as the ones the famous company use.

I do find it odd a company would offer that level of discount back to an enquiry if they do supply a large number of bars to a particular firm - but for my wallets sake I hope I am wrong.

    How would 23mm cope on track? Since the car is only a track car, might make sense and go slightly bigger?
