I know I'm bringing back an older thread but it is worth it. The original rubber bushings have a finite life and mine were certainly showing their age. We will all need to do this at some time. Chris produces a wonderful product and was very prompt in getting them out to me. I'll be helping a fellow R'lister install a set on his car when he gets them in. My dad's 964 will come soon after that.
If Andreas is going to be the East Coast Rep, I'll be the Midwest Rep. Chris, have your people call my people.
On another note, I'd like to hear about any updates on the rear bushings.

Chris...I have a technical question that I hope you can answer. On removing the front bushing from the left side control arm I used a hack saw as advised to remove the tension on the sleeve. Unknowingly I began to saw through on one side and scored a cut into the arm about 1-11/2 mm deep at the end, and tapering off by the midpoint. 
Do I need to replace the control arm from a safety standpoint or can I drive with it like this? Here is a drawing...I did not take a picture.
Thanks

That is going to create a weak spot in the arm, If it were me I would be replacing the arm. Chris may have another take on this but it looks iffy.....

Am in the garage at the moment getting ready to do the bushings and don't have the instructions. I did a set 2 years ago so I think I can wing it but if someone has the DIY instructions they could email me I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi
I have not read all the posts in this thread and apologise if this is a hijack, but rear bushes in rubber and two different hardnesses are available from Elephant Racing. They also do front ones which are identical to the originals. Also in a sport hardness if you prefer. I have fitted the whole set (in sport hardness) to my car and they are a great product.

Still waiting on the paperwork from Walrod so that I can firmly cement my 'Rep' status.
