Porsche 911s et al with their extreme rear mass bias and trailing arm rear
suspension are an unusual case and a bad example for recommending bushing
swaps either way. There's a LOT of technology in those suspensions; I remember
reading of multi-compound rubber being used in some areas. They've spend 60
years developing an ill-handling machine into a superior handling sportscar
and I'd hesitate to take a shot at 'improving' their result with bushing
swaps. I still remember some Porsches in years past that were white-knuckle
handfuls at speed on bumpy roads... My 2¢-
