Dear Ivko, thank you for your post, unfortunately the only person in the club that has Torsion bars available is a unique chap called Rissy , which you can message him through the club, Otherwise you will have to use the resources of DMC Houston or Europe. I hope this helps.

"Rissy" only has passenger torsion bars, not driver's side.

To add to Admin-bloke's list there is one other option which is http://deloreannewparts.com/store/page11.html

Also just to add a comment, I think the ones Houston sell are made by a third party and have had issues with the paint cracking which results in minor rusting, discussed on dmctalk

It's the dmoco bar they are using.

That's Byrne Heninger's website. I believe he has retired?

It's your money and your choice but to be honest if you are shelling out for a torsion bar, I would pay the extra $281 and get the DMOCO torsion bar. The Heninger bar looks very mickey mouse.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine has the dmoco bar in his car, he has been running it for he last 5 years with no issues. :thumbsup:
