It would depend on how hot the torsion bar actually got. How much soot got on it isn't a good indication. Perhaps what would be is how well the soot stuck/stained. They aren't like plug wires where if in question you just replace them anyway; though, I have heard of people doing that. For the value involved and price vs. risk, I would install them on a car and see how they go. The worst that could happen is that the spring would give and maybe break before you closed the door the first time.
