Drilling is the way to go, PITA but can be done with a bit of patience. As for rubber vs. poly, I found the poly to be WAY too harsh and made the car ride like it had solid suspension. Not bad for the track but hard on the road.

I put in a set of Spherical ones and I dont really notice any harshness in the ride. I also put in poly upper/lowerrs and spring isolators. I guess I would notice it more if I daily drove the car.

Bushings should not affect the harshness of your ride. Thats all shocks & struts & tires.

Had em, and they will change the ride, as will struts and tires. You will feel every rock in the road. Do the fronts and rears, and say you can't tell the difference.
