We looked at making them, and the cost was too prohibitive.




About 10 years ago there was some talk about doing this and I went out and bought some splined ends to see about this.

From a production standpoint, it all comes down to having the right broach for each bar you can use. That's a lot in tooling right there. Have a machine shop set up to run the super limited run that it will be. That's not cheap either.

Finally it got to the point of strength and wall thickness and who wants to deal with that liability?

Then you find out Firm Feel is willing to custom forge bars.

Death of that project soon after.

Besides, do you really need a larger than 1.25" T-bar? In an A-body? Really?

Hotchkis makes ~1.1" work on their E-body setup. That's a good dual purpose size. I'm running 1.18s and they are livable with 15" tires (still running bilsteins so my 17s are kind of harsh). Mitch swears by his 1.24s (that's about 450# wheel rate).
