I have Hasports B-series drag mounts and it vibrates pretty bad as well and there's nothing that can really be done about it unless I get bushings that are a bit softer which I wouldn't want to do. Vibration always has to go or exist somewhere.

harder mounts provide better engine stability while launching the car. of course it will also cause it to vibrate the whole car at idle.

You mount them in the front and back torque mounts there pretty cheap too!! And when i turn on the head lights it gets worse same with hitting the brakes the draw of amps from the brake lights it almost seams like a starve of amperage??

You can try a grounding kit, don't be cheap though, HKS had a special on them don't know if they still do, but they were 65 for the Cycle Earth kit.
