O.K.  I have to ask here, WRT solid subframe bushings, what kind of punishment have you seen??
And this from someone who designed a solid engine snub nose and solid propshaft bearing mount? ;)

I have been using aluminium subframe mounts for years now (daily driver and ocasional track use) and have not had any issues.  With stock control arm bushings the ride is so smooth you wouldn't even know they are in there.

I've had good luck modifying stock mounts by filling the voids with epoxy p=
utty, stiffens things up very nicely but not too much so.  I don't recommen=
d solid subframe bushings, I've seen the unibody and subframe take some pun=
ishment due to overly stiff subframe mounts.
