Thanks, this is great info! Cutting out the OEM mount is a little bit committal, but I can get behind that. I'll look into a DIY on the hybrid bushing (as the instructional PDFs don't seem to want to open for me, but that's a whole different animal) and if everything can be done without too much issue, I'll go the Powerflex route. I'm a big fan of their strut bushings on my mk4, and they generally seem to offer excellent products.
Edit, for anyone else who's interested, I found this thread:
