Good article thank you. How do the 1.03 bars ride? Harsh or just the right amount of firmness? Looking at upgrading to 0.92 bars.

Hi there Brian. I noticed in your article that you had a tool clamped to the bar to remove it and i have a book that shows a tool that looks like yours but with a handle on it to hold while hitting said tool to remove the bars. I have tried to find such a tool but no one seems to know what i am talking about. Who sells them? Where did the dealers get them? Any hint would be great.

I just made one out of scrap aluminum drilled hole little smaller than the torsion bar used fr or you could just put v in it if you have means.

The ride is nice on my car not harsh at all. to the point maybe should go with even thicker but think these will be good compromise
