After reading a lot of threads, I am leaning to solid subframe and PowerFlex purple diff bushings. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
It will still wheel hop with solid subframe bushings and powerflex purples. Also, the powerflex purples seem like an inferior design to the ecs tuning poly diff mounts. The metal sleeves on the powerflex bushings are much smaller diameter, which means less surface area of polyurethane supporting the sleeve. Mine actually tore through the poly and snapped a bolt on track. Now I have solid diff bushings too.

Edit: should say I still got wheel hop. Tires (and tire temp) and suspension also contribute.
