At this rate i'll be ordering the first lot tomorrow for anyone that's paid, meaning you should see them at your door mid-end next week. If anyone else is in a position to pay sooner rather than later let me know so I can get more orders in
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Ben - 26-10-2012
How are people deciding on thicknesses? Can't make my mind up at all with such a variation of spring rates!
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Just Sean - 26-10-2012
hit n hope!
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 26-10-2012
Standard gti6 is 20mm
Xsara VTS and ph3 HDI estate are 21mm, so a firmer suspension upgrade for the occasional fast roader
22mm is 25% stiffer than a 21mm bar, so aimed at more track oriented cars, or people who like hardcore fast roading
23.5mm is the stiffest you can fit without removing the trailing arms. Peugeot Sport used this size for tarmac and gravel rallies. Much firmer back end that standard and for most people too uncomfortable/skittish for normal road driving. Would need good dampers too, an underdamped highly sprung rear end would lead to plenty of arse-out moments. My personal choice though as the estate is heavy at the back end and rather low.
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Chris - 27-10-2012
Chris if its ok with Niall (already pmed him to ask)
Can my ARB be posted with his TB's Please.
Will pay once I know If I need to pay postage on mine.
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 27-10-2012
That's fine mate, just pay for the ARB and i'll combine the order
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Chris - 27-10-2012
Cool, Just need to wait for a reply from Niall then.
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 27-10-2012
Should be ok, sure he said so anyway. He was on about getting Grant to pay up to put them all together

Cheers for that reply very helpful. I can't decide between 22 and 23 so will most probably go inbetween the two!
Will the hybrid arb's come ready to fit, i.e. drilled and tapped? I've just read on a couple of forums that you have to do it yourself?
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 28-10-2012
These ARB's are end tapped to M8 the same as OE spec. They wil lbe completely ready to fit.
22.5mm would be a good spring rate for fast road and occasional track tbh
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Ben - 28-10-2012
Excellent, would you mind putting me down for 22.5 torsions and a hybrid arb? I'm on my phone and copy and pasting isn't easy! Could you also send payment details, I'll try and pay today but I have a feeling it may have to wait until payday.
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 28-10-2012
You have PM buddy
Niall your order has been amended and includes Chris' ARB, should be getting posted together
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Jonny81191 - 29-10-2012
Don't know who's dropped the size of mine to 23.5, but cheers! I was going to change it anyway!
Chris, PM me and I'll sort payment ASAP

Sweet so will we be seeing these at some point before the weekend? Give me something to do this weekend then!
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 29-10-2012
All being well mate aye, he said they should be posting the first lot midweek
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - Niall - 29-10-2012
Ah sweet. Look forward to it
RE: Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED** - cwspellowe - 30-10-2012
