Nah. My buddy did that to his BMW and after a month put the rubber bushing back on. Said that the poly made the car ride bad but did make the handling ... marginally better. Wasn't worth it.

Well maybe not all bushings, but I want my Camry to be able to drive on harsh roads without worrying, because they're unavoidable. Otherwise I'm replacing rubber bushings every 10k miles, which is super dumb.

What roads are you driving on that will wear out bushings in 10k miles? Rubber bushings aren't just on a Camry, they are on every mass production vehicle produced. To help alleviate the rough roads, you could consider a small diameter wheel with a taller tire so that you get more damping from the tires. Although, I'm not sure that's really the problem...

None other than commonly traveled Houston roads my friend. I can show you a receipt for warranty work done already. 12k miles and a completely obliterated endlink bushing. And I drive obsessively carefully. The 2014 SE I based this username on had a whole strut replaced at 4k miles. Yes sir that is correct.
