Rear front and tower mounts need to be solid mounts, not poly or rubber.

Yar, as Adam has said, replace the tower bolt bushes with solid ones and also the floor mount ones.

No suspension cone compression needed on this job, the cones stay in the subby as you lower it to change the bushes. Be careful as you lower it to change them, just make sure you're not overstressing/stretching any cables, pipes etc. :)
