Default Solid Rear Bushings

My previous car was a IRS 04 Cobra and one of the major mods to keep the IRS alive for racing was replacing all the rubber bushings with solid ones. Is this a big mod to do with Corvettes also? I see Pfadt makes them but I can not find many reviews.

So who makes solid bushings and what does everyone think of them? I should also add I am looking at them for drag racing not auto-x or road racing.

As you see, we make them. They are amazing on the track, and will eliminate the deflection of the control arms during a hard launch. As you probably already know, wheel hop and control arm deflection are closely tied together. In all reality, a few things need to be addressed to make the Corvette a better drag car. We actually have a drag package that includes drag coilovers, drag sway bar, and the sphericals. Shoot me a PM and I can give you a ton more info!
