Does anyone have experience with these?

They seem like the hot set up.

I had them on my '87
they're great and well worth the extra money over crappy plastic bushings

I bought Them

Thanks guys for the comments. I bought the ER bushings, adjustable spring plates, and 21 Sanders and 26 Porsche Torsion bars.

I think the ER bushings will be great and some Porsche friends from San Diego gave me some good insight on a recent trip.

Jeroen, where in NL do you live? I lived in Bavel and Hooge Zwuele from 1985 to 1987, and was a member of the NL Porsche Club.

Ciao

hey Dom,

I live in Hellevoetsluis, about 20 miles south west of Rotterdam
I'm also a member of the NL porsche club (although not too active lately)

The bushings work very well. With the t-bars and shocks disconnected, you can move your suspension by hand, without any force (try that with stock or plastic bushings!)
Unlike popular believe, the ride is nice because now your shocks and torsionbars can do their job instead of fighting the bushings.

You should look into getting a set of adjustable swaybars from Tarett (Elephant also sells these)
They're much better made than the Weltsheister bars and don't cost that much more
The adjusting range is awesome, you can set up your car from snap throttle oversteer to Honda Civic FWD understeer and anything in between...
