Torsion Bar Set - '65-'86 Porsche 911/912 and 1955-1959 VW Bug (25mm Tubular)
Torsion Bar Set - '65-'86 Porsche 911/912 and 1955-1959 VW Bug (25mm/Tubular)
SKU 1125T
Category: Porsche & Volkswagen Torsion Bars High-performance tubular 25mm rear torsion bars by Sway-A-Way. By utilizing a hollow core, these bars provide the same effective spring rate as a solid 25mm bar but with a significant reduction in unsprung weight, leading to faster suspension recovery and improved mechanical grip.
Performance & Fitment
Application: Rear Torsion Bar Set (Tubular/Hollow) Length: 24 11/16” Diameter: 25mm (Performance/Weight Reduction Upgrade)
Porsche 911 / 912: 1965 through 1986
Volkswagen Beetle (Swing Axle): 1955 through 1959
Premium Construction
Material: Tubular aircraft-grade alloy steel for high strength-to-weight ratio
Manufacturing: Centerless ground for a perfectly consistent wall thickness and linear spring rate
Heat Treatment: Through-hardened and shot-peened to maximize fatigue life and resist "sagging"
Finish: Gloss powder coating for long-term protection against the elements
⚠️ Critical Fitment Exceptions
Even if your car falls into the year ranges above, you must ensure it does not fall under these exceptions:
❌ G50 Transmission Porsche 911: Does not fit 1987–1989 Porsche 911 models. The G50-equipped cars require longer bars and have a different spline configuration.
❌ Post-1959 VW Beetle: These are the "short" 24 11/16" bars. They are incompatible with 1960–1968 Swing Axle models (26 11/16" bars) and 1969+ IRS models (21 3/4" bars).
❌ Solid vs. Tubular Tuning: While a 25mm tubular bar is designed to mimic the rate of a 25mm solid bar, the reduced mass alters the suspension's harmonic frequency. It is highly recommended to pair these with high-quality, adjustable dampers to take full advantage of the weight savings.
