I'm not sure if you saw that in my "advice needed" thread but yes I indeed have metal on metal back on the trailing arms.
I think in an ideal world I would have all the time to buy and install every combo of parts but I don't. I could go "factory/new spec" and just install rubber, but there seem to be many here on the forum reporting poly or even metal/monoball installs and that they didn't think the ride was too harsh.
I also see things like the Elephant Racing ASP:
https://www.elephantracing.com/porsche/911/spring-plates-for-911/asp-adjustable-spring-plate/
...making a case about how tires are different now than they were back when the cars were designed.
So...I'm eager to really hear if more people here think ride quality is more springs and shocks/struts/dampers versus rubber.
