Just wondering...
What kind of costs would be involved when you'd have a good number of say 1.25" bars forged up in rough form, only to be (CNC) machined, cut and ground down to a customers desired diameter, length and end clocking?
I dunno. Ask Dick Ross, he could probably answer that since he makes a lot of torsion bars. Or maybe these guys could answer it you; http://www.kdkforging.com/torsion_bars.php
If I had to take a stab at it, I'd guess it costs about $75 per bar for a quantity run of 40-50 pieces. If you only want to make 3,4, or 5 pairs, it may be upward of $250-300 a bar.

I've got a set of JustSuspension 1" bars in my Dart now but I would be willing to upgrade to 1.12". Noticed JS has upped the price for the Abody bars with $50 since I got them last year. I wonder how long it would take before some China-made torsionbars hit the market for say $89.50 a set and a spare bar orso... )
