Sorry, NVH is Noise Vibration, Harshness. It's a set of manufacturer design parameters for anyone not familiar with the terms and centers around making a car in its' class as quiet, smooth and balanced as possible for the price. In the example of the Spirit AMX with relatively stiff rear springs the iso-clamps were designed to reduce the harshness of the springing as well as some of the vibration that can travel through metal to metal contact.
