Hey 914 friends! Need some more of your opinions and experiences. I am going to rebuilding all my suspension with all new bushings etc. the car is a street car that may see very limited track time. But street driven almost all the time. Your feelings of stock rubber bushings? Polyurethane? Polygrafite? Delrin?
My plan is to put a factory 2.0L sway bar up front, maybe some stiffer torsion bars. Out back, I have a set of ground control coil overs with eibach 180 springs. New bilstiens at four corners. Any input/ suggestions on this would be great. Thank you. |

If it's going to be primarily a street car, stick with rubber bushings. The other types will be too harsh to enjoy on the street.

I considered poly bushes but got a lot of negative feedback ,lack of compliance and the noise that can make,if a road car no need to go anything other than stock.....that was the end of my research.

Go with rubber from Elephant Racing.
I just finished the same for a car with similar purpose and Could not be happier and I know that these will be good for at least 100k miles more. Don't over think it Porsche didn't |
