first time I've come across that seller, they state all the right things though, and the spline pattern looks decent

I  know the lad who makes these and they are top drawer. He’s spent a lot of time testing oe bars and his are made to the exact same specs, he’s very knowledgeable on the subject.  The machining and finish is superb unlike other aftermarket bars I’ve seen. 
 

The pre stressing isn’t just sales patter either, he’s made a stressing/testing rig and I think I’m right in saying he can supply you with the actual wheel rates for bars. 
 

highly recommended, I’ve even used my own money to by bars off him! :P

Brilliant. It’s great to see a high quality product on the market. The guy clearly knows his stuff and has put it all on the table for the competition to see.

Just to bring this to an end, the torsions bars fitted a treat. Bought an arb too, which needed a little playing with as there was a few mm's of deviation once fitted. Got it spot it by turning the arb around. 23mm TBs and 25mm ARB barely moved with my 13st frame bouncing on it! Might be back for 21mm bars if its too stiff.

 

Highly recommend this supplier though.

I bought a pair of 21mm bars from Tom last year for my rally car. Proper things and they’ve done a few events now without issues.

Have any of you got the link to Tomas's ebay shop or website (if he has one)?

 

The link posted originally doesn't work anymore & even though I thought I'd saved him to my sellers on ebay, I appear not to have done.

For anyone interested in any bars from Tom, he currently sells them through Pug1off.

 

He's given up with ebay due to the hassle of it all.

Who is currently available to rebuild a 1.6 GTI rear beam? 
 

I am based in Hertfordshire but travel with work on a regular basis so should be able to run my axle up to you.
