All and all it's better, but I am in stop and go traffic for at LEAST a couple hours a day. So I have had ample time to feel this out, and it definitely has shifted yawing forward. I'm thinking energy is being thrown at the mounts as they are now dispropotionally weaker than the rest of the system. Am I crazy or dumb or both?
No, you are neither. It's all about the weakest link. the best bang for your stiffness buck is closest to the torsional axes. Draw a line through the engine and diff, then another between the rear wheels. I'm thinking all 3 diff mounts are good candidates but especially the front mount. I haven't started reading up on it. Just need to separate the good solutions from the snake oil.

I bet those Perrin mounts are going to be dramatic.

edit: Duh, you already did the diff mounts.
