On the other hand, it would be extremely easy to pull the front arms after a few years, clean the bushings, and repack.

Does touching the brakes make any difference? When I got my 96 coupe a couple years back the symtoms mimicked warped rotors, i.e. bad shimmy when hitting the brakes, new bushing and all was good, didn't need the rotors changing. On my 97 with only 46k miles the shimmy was there as you are describing with your car, new bushing and presto, smooth.
Most people have suggested the Chris Walrod bushings. Have most people done this themselves or brought it to porsche shop to do this work, if the latter how much should it cost ballpark?

As a matter of fact, i do feel the mimicked warped rotor symptoms when touching the brakes mostly at higher speeds.

Got the new arms in with the Walrod bushings and that problem is gone.
Unfortunately i was enjoying the car's new feel to much apparently and seemed to have collapsed a hydraulic lifter.
On to the next job now :|
