Default AWE DTS and APR Snub Mount - Dangerous??

Some say this is not recommended, yet others rave about the combination. Is there any extra danger posed to the engine by doing this? How does this effect the cars feel, any opinions on the DTS and Snub combination are appreciated. I already have snub mounts but ruined the current stabalizer bar (hit a rock) so I already need to replace it. The question is OEM vs DTS, the money doesnt really matter on this one, only whether or not it is harmful to the actual car itself. Thanks

I'm having both put in right now. What would be the issue? Busting engine mounts or tweaking something else in the engine?

I dont see the issue honestly, but a few people have posted on the forums that the resultant torque forces are too much for the engine......I dont even see how that applies. I decided to get the DTS put in as well. Parts should be in Tues.

What does the snub mount do anyway and why upgrade?

Its supposed to cut down engine vibrations. Also stock unit is prone to tearing and failure.
