i'm getting both my pads and new wheels together, i just don't know when or where i'll find the money LoL.... i'm hoping for a GENEROUS christmas bonus this year **fingers crossed**

here's a noob question for everyone.. since my suspension is nearly 100% stiffer than the factory ride, would it put any extra stress on the motor mounts
::EDIT::
when i'm in traffic juggling 1st gear, i do feel the extra forward and backward shaking in the engine bay -- wondering if this could damage anything

if so, what can i buy to address the extra wear & tear? i was thinking of buying an ETD to help stop some of the shaking but i'm not exactly sure if that'll help much.
good luck!
I'm not sure about engine mounts...i just know that in an auto, you can break em easily by doing a few N drops! haha
Dampers...i thought those made the cabin vibrate more but i guess dispersed the force on the mounts. and perhaps help with wheel hop and transfering more power to the ground?

i'm sure the spoon ETD is worth the investment, but i'm sure that's a race spec ETD and i just need a street version
My friend is going to sell me him Mugen engine mounts for my DB8. And they already have Energy Suspension motor mount inserts. Woot!
