Need manufacturer's chart for torsion bar specs

    I'm trying to track down some torsion bars for a project.
    Does anyone know of a manufacturer's chart that lists all their torsion bars, with the specs such as length, diameter, distance across the flats (mount), etc.?

    I'm looking for something like shock manufacturers have that list all the dimensions on their shocks so you can find one that fits the car you just modified. (as an example)

    Already tried the Mopar Performance chassis manual, and struck out.

    Thanks,
    -Brad

    I'm sorry to say I can't find it on the web right now, but I was leafing thru a new Winters catalog a couple of weeks ago and I found a wonderful chart for torsion bars that cross references bar length, bar diameter and lever arm length to give effective spring rates. Bar diameter info is really no good without having the length of the lever arm figured into your calculations, as it tells you the effective "rate" of the bar. If I can find out more on a link, I'll get back to you. Gary
