Posting this on behalf of a guy over on the ocquote:
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.
