Suspension Question / Help

I have a 78 911 and in the next 6 months or so I want to redo the suspension

I will be replacing shocks (plan on Bilstein Sport) I currently have Boge

I want to replace all bushings. The car has ~ 94,000 miles. I was skimming over the Elephant site and I am interested in the Poly Bronz bushings

Do you use Poly Bronz and the mono balls together or no.

Looking for a nice stiff ride with some tracking and autocross thrown in.

You can use the Poly Bronz bushings with or without the mono balls.

If you have the funds I would do try to do everything at the same time. It keeps you from having to do some work twice

If you do a search, I think you will find that many are using a combination of the sports and the heavy duties--one type on the front and the other on the rear. It might be worth checking out.

Bilstein sports in the front and h/d shocks in the back is the combo I just did and it is great.
