blossom Bushings didn't really help the instability while braking for me. Turning off nannies in the DSC module helped a huge amount with the sway and instability. Could also be your braking technique, I quickly learned that stomping on the pedal and riding through ABS is the least stable way to brake.
Think about it.
Solid diff bushings, rubber subframe. Most of the NVH is absorbed now by the rubber in the subframe. Solidify that, and now you have nothing really absorbing it, except the property of the metals and existing insulation on the floorplan. That's it.

Considering piecemeal feedback of each component is completely illogical.
