The reason they don't do solid bushings is because they need to balance NVH/Comfort and performance. There is A LOT more noise from the rear end with the solid bushings and you feel more of the bumps, so they need to compromise. Which is fine. I'm willing to live with the added suspension noise but I know 80% of the consumer group isn't.

Any car that's sold to the masses will always have to make compromises.

And like I said, the car does really well on the street with the 255s. I only feel like the car is under-tired on the drag strip, but that's more a compound issue than anything else.
I had cheap poly bushings and tubular UCA/LCA on my 5.0 and it was no louder than stock. Maybe that car just made so much noise with the cam and headers, ORX, and Flows that it drowned out the sqeeks, lol.

However, this does lead me to ask...Do you wish it had a properly set-up IRS now ?
