I am going to put new 318 bars in my cuda. Where is the best place to buy these? Is there any that are better than others? Are there any that don't need painted?
Thanks,

Do they have any that are made for drag racing? More stored energy?

pick the body style,,,(a b c e etc)

go under torsion bar,,,,and they have a wide selection of what your looking for.

I was able to find a old set of MP bars,,,.840 for my B body...(not made anymore)

Firm Feel took good care of me for new ones. If you want a good used set of 318 bars, look at the June E body parts for sale.
