Great story, and a great beginning! Good luck on the upgrades. I highly recommend Elephant Racing for all of your suspension needs. Here is one of Chuck Moreland's build threads that could give you something to dream of, or aspire to:
Green Machine Thread
One note; I'm sure you're aware of the "slippery slope"...well that can also be classified as the "while you're in there", and redoing the suspension bushings is a classic scenario of the while-you're-in-there-slippery-slope.
There will be a lot of things you'll want to replace when you start to tear into it, so I recommend budgetting for more than bushings, and also talking to Chuck at Elephant Racing on a balanced strategy for a suspension refresh. You can do a lot yourself, if you're mechanically inclined and this board is a huge help...both in inspiration and in knowledge.
Congratulations again on your first foray into 911 ownership. I look forward to many updates!
