There is also the suggestion that putting the torsion bars in at a relaxed position will make a difference.
They are springs which work with angular movement, their spring rate is near enough constant in the range that they are used so all you would be doing is transferring more of the load through the coil-over rather than the torsion bar. The effective suspension rate will be the sum of both components. The only benefit of this is easier adjustment for setting corner weights by adjusting the coil-overs...

I have used aftermarket 944 'bushings', actually quite a hard aftermarket replacement I got from Pelican Parts. Mine is a road car so I still want an amount of compliance and this has worked perfectly for me...
