I wouldn't rule out the nylatron too hastily.  Yes, they are very hard,
but I have nylatron on the front suspension of my TR6, and did not
notice any increase in noise/vibration/harshness.  But it sure did make
the car feel much more confident in cornering.  I plan to put nylatron
bushings on the rear trailing arms at some point too.
