if you are bagging it than what it wrong with using rubber?

Rubber bushing has a certain area where it works/flexes fine. If you go over it, it'll stress the rubber too much and vulcanization or rubber itself will tear at some point. That's why all bushings must be loosened and tightened again if driving height changes permanently. Poly will rotate around it's axis especially when properly lubed.

You could try and pour your own poly bushings, otherwise you may be out of luck if you stay with stock suspension pieces. With the rubber you'd want to tighten things up with the car at ride height, then deal with any damage that may come from extreme changes from short periods of slammed display at a show. Don't leave it too far from ride height most of the time so as to not stress the rubber when you don't need to. Try it and see how long they last. If they can't take the drop, then aftermarket suspension will be the likely fix.
