Steve - Check Advanced Auto for this. They sell a 4 pack for ~$15. Worked fine for my clutch job. I compared it to my buddies snap-on version, it's the same thing, only the snap-on comes with a 3/8" socket on the drive end. Not an issue.

Total price at PAP, $109.57 including shipping. And they say they'll ship it all out today.

Granted, I only ordered what they had in stock...and then placed a separate order at Pelican for the other goodies.
Ok, so Pelican under-promised on the shipping. The other order I placed shipped on 12/30 (the same day that I ordered it). Next test...did they actually ship the right parts?

Alright Dorki's I need your help. Who is the cheapest supplier for non stock torsion bars? I have looked at all the usual sources, but I know there is some vendor out there that I have overlooked that could have better pricing. I checked PAP's website but didn't see torsion bars for sale under the suspension category.
FYI, I am looking for Sway a way's 22/29 or 22/30.
Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Pelican is the cheapest I've found for these, but they never have any in stock. I got mine from Performance (whose makes them and have tons in stock) and had them match Pelican's prices.

BTW, the first guy I talked to a Performance told me they never match prices on Weltmeister stuff since they own the brand. I called back 2 days later, got a different guy, and he price matched no problem. FYI.

I compared Sander Engineering t-bars sold by Elephant Racing and Rennsport Systems, and ER was cheaper. I don't recall if I looked for these from Pelican. RL recommends Steve Timmons.
