My 73 Targa has 21mm front torsion bars, 26 mm rear, Weltmeister plastic trailing arm bushings, Neatrix spring plate replacement rubber, Elephant polybronze front control arm bushings, and Bilstein sport (yellow) dampers. I love the car, don't like the ride, am not impressed that handling is better either.
I have always been happy with mostly stock suspensions on other torsion bar 911s I have owned and driven over the past 35 years, never felt a need to change from stock specifications except, sometimes, shocks and sway bars.
I want to go back to mostly stock. I read Pelican nearly every day, but I rarely, if ever, see anyone advocating for stock suspension bushings. Am I missing something?
What is the consensus on front control arm and rear spring plate bushings? Do I need to buy new factory parts, or are the replacements available today just as good? I tried the Neatrix rear spring plate bushings around 15 years ago, and I was unhappy with them. They were quickly just as egg shaped as the 30 year old originals I removed.
