I can't find factory Porsche/OEM bushings for the spring plate and see URO, Dansk, Elephant Racing, and RSR seem to be the common offering.
I think I have narrowed it down the ER or RSR HD. Any reason to pay almost 2x for the ER over the RSR rubber spring plate bushings?
Next is deciding the torsion bar replacement so if you have any advise for those, I welcome suggestions. Thinking the 26mm sway-a-ways but still early in the research phase.
I got to drive my car to pick up some oil from local auto parts place as my first non-testing drive in the car and love it. The looks from strangers, waves and thumbs up from car ppl make it all worth the years of effort.

for a street car on 6's and 185/70 x15 tires, you'll want new rubber bushes all around, I'm partial to the Elephant sport rubber versions, also while in the why no replace the trailing arms w/ adjustable versions, Rennline has some nice ones w/ a sport rubber option.
riding on fairly narrow , less sticky rubber the stock t-bars are fine unless you want to reduce sway, if so no bigger than 20/26, Sanders hollow , plated from Elephant are the way to go. an option is to go w/ bigger sways, like from a 3.2 Carrera or even adjustables.
