I know normal bushings are fairly brutal when you hit the occasional hole to hell.
That's bad shocks, not bushings. Not sure why people are so enamored with the red Strongflex, I have replaced everything with yellow and there's no difference in noise or vibration and the handling is dramatically better.

The only thing I'm not doing with the stiffer poly is the rear subframe, which I'm doing with billet aluminum. All the new M cars have solid bushings and I have not noticed any NVH change in cars with solid rear subframe bushings, and the handling is night and day better.

The only bushing that I can tell has any contribution to NVH is the rear diff carrier bushing, and the yellow is fine there too.
