Eric the guy I dealt with at Spring Dynamics charges 90 bucks for a set plus shipping. That was worth it to me since the original Ford made ones that are correct for the fastback trunk lid with the rear wing are made of unobtainium. Finley, at Blue Oval, at $350.00 a set, is very proud of the...

I received my new torsion rods from Spring Dynamics today. I’ve attached pics of the original rods and the new ones the new torsion rods are meatier.
