I'd personally put solid floor and tower omnes and polly tear ones.

of got solid ones on the front and standerd ones on the back.
i couldnt belive the differnce in handling with the solid front ones!! it makes it more responsive imo.
with standerd rubber ones if you get a mate to turn the wheel while stationary, you will see the whole subframe moving slightly, where as with the solid mounts it doesnt move at all!!
not sure whats best for rear subframe though.

cheers

Polly bushes at the back are a good idea too IMO. It will be a bit rougher I guess, but minis are hardly a smooth ride.

The worst thing for choppy ride is stiff shocks. KYBs all the way for my road car.
