With PBCM springs in hand I need to purchase Bilstiens, strut and shock mounts, bushings etc. Prices seem to vary significantly. Any vendor recommendations would be appreciated.
I think website is way out of date.how about Mesa? website says 134.5 ea for fronts and 108.5 ea for rears

I emailed the order to Mesa as the site has old tech encryption. Thanks for the help here!how about Mesa? website says 134.5 ea for fronts and 108.5 ea for rears
You better call, Jim doesn't even open snail mail.
depends on how many fillings you want to jar loose. i much prefer rubber, urethane is just too stiff unless you are going to spend all of your time on a nice smooth track.
My goal is to keep the ride quality as close to factory while improving the handling and lowering the stance (in that order). I really appreciate the input.Unless you are really going all-out with your suspension, I'd stick with rubber bushings. Poly bushings generally require some lubrication and will squeak anyway, and they noticeably increase impact harshness over road disturbances and small bumps. I have a 911SC that's lowered a lot on stock torsion bars, good shocks, and polybronze suspension bushings (rear swing arm pivots, semi-trailing arm ball joints, front torsion bar pivots, upper strut mounts are rubber) and the car rides well due to the OE torsion bars but I really notice the impact harshness. It doesn't both me, but it's worth knowing based on what you want your suspension to be biased towards.
I did just that! I purchased a set of PBCM springs on Chris's advice.lowering the stance, you have a couple of options
1. buy lowering springs from LaJolla Independent
2. ask @HB Chris who's springs he used to improve the stance of his new chamonix.
