Massive noise from solid arms and links

My FD has custom solid trailing arms and toe links (similar to M2 but with much better rod ends and dust seals). The car just feels "gooey" at the limit with the stock rubber bushings, and these were a huge improvement in stability at the track. Of course, the downside is that they are loud as hell and make all kinds of noise. Lately I have been driving the car a lot more on the street, and it may even become my daily driver soon and I'm thinking of going back to the stock stuff because they are just so loud. Anyone have any ideas or a way to make them quiter? I can't think of anything. Hmm, why is everything always a tradeoff...

You can always put new bushings in the stock arms and links, no it won't be as stiff as solid but it will be an inbetween.
