Torsion bars best place to buy?

What is your aversion to the 1.03 bars? I replaced my OE 340 bars with 1.03's and it provided a much better feel to the front end.

My wife wants a smoother ride, don't want it to be so stiff on Hawaii roads. My experience with BB torsion bars in even a SB car was the ride was a bit hard. Yours differ?
