Default Differential Bushings

I have my car up on the lift and thought I'd address a few issues. The diff ear bushings look stock w/ 80k miles on them. I'm getting some funky clunks when engaging throttle so I thought I'd go ahead and replace them. The question is, how long will OEM bushings last for 300-500hp applications? If aftermarket bushings would be better, can anyone recommend something that's not out of sight on price? Thanks

I've never been a fan of solid bushings for anything that's made of aluminum because it's a ticking time bomb. I had no clue what NVH stood for, but that's bad and nobody wants that.

SuperPro seems to be an Ausi company so I'll see if I can find them online.

The other ones are $120 for 4 aluminum bushings. That's a complete rip off, coming from someone with a lathe and 2 axis mill. I could make them in an hour for $5 in materials. I need to start a business apparently lol. Here's the link for anyone who finds this later and considers it:
