Hi fellas.Given the success of the last torsion bar group buy, and the fact i've now tested out a set for myself, i'm happy to offer another group buy on custom torsion bars and ARB's.
From the first group buy:

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.
These are the same guys that Pug1Off use that retail at £324 + £14.99 delivery 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, even 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 a similar price to new Xsara VTS bars!
Approx. 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 saving.
With regards to sizes:
He's produced the hybrid ARB before so has the exact dimensions to guarantee no modification to fit one. 30mm ARB's will need the trailing arm pins modified.
Torsion bars can be done to ANY size. 21.5mm? No problem. 23.1mm? Sure.
The maximum size they can make the torsion bars in to fit without removing a trailing arm are 23.5mm, the same as the Peugeot Sport ones. The cutaways in the splined sections are deeper than the 24mm diameter so to confirm, 24mm bars will not fit without removing a trailing arm.
Please email me at stancewagon@hotmail.co.uk or PM me if you want payment details and to arrange delivery address etc.

The only amendment this time round will be the price, given that there was a lot of faffing about involved for me the prices are going up slightly to take this into account.
So this time, including postage, the prices will be as follows.
Torsion bars (per pair, delivered) £220 (over 25mm +£25) Pug1Off price £340 delivered for 25mm and under, save £120!
Anti Roll Bars (delivered) £125 (over 25mm +£15) Pug1Off price £177 delivered for 25mm and under, save £52!
Hybrid Anti Roll Bar (delivered) £160 last seen for sale new at £180 delivered-ish on here I believe? save £20!
Some big savings on some shiny suspension bits. All bars are sprayed matte black as part of the production process.
Anyone interested, get your names down. Once we have five definites we can look at ordering. As an FYI, delivery can take up to 2 weeks from when they are ordered. I got the impression they would be out quicker than that last time, considering I handled over £5k through Paypal it was obviously unnerving that stuff hadn't arrived when I thought it would.
I can now confirm though that the company is legit and the bars work much as they should
Looking at the end of January to have the group buy done and dusted
