Default A-arm bushings for M030 suspension

I'm about to replace the front A-arm bushings in my 993 with the ones from Elephant Racing and I'm trying to decide between the "OEM hardness" and the 'Sport Hardness" varieties. My car has the M030 suspension option. Were the OEM bushings installed by the factory any different for the M030 suspension, or were they the same as those for the regular factory suspension? I'd like to choose the ones that will get me as close to those that came installed on my car by the factory.

Do a search on this one - I seem to remember a good thread on the elephant racing bushings about two months ago...

Why not just order some OEM ones if that is the goal?

It's my understanding that Porsche doesn't sell the bushings separately - I believe you have to buy the entire A-arm assembly in order to get the bushings. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Only the RS models used harder front a-arm bushes, and even there only on the rear of the front a-arms.

I used the sport hardness ones on mine, at both ends of the front A-arms, very pleased!!

If you want to stay close to factory use the regular ones
