vibration in the cabin at idle?

over the week I have added a rear brace, strut tower brace and an under strut system..... I really noticed the vibration at idle after I added the rear.... mine is aluminum from Pilo... I know some people have carbon units which should absorb some vibration.....anyone with experience have some feedback?

There's been talk about crank pulleys (I just had WMS's 2% version installed last Sunday along with his 15% SP) causing vibrations at 800 RPM (very close to idle) and 8000 RPM. But there have been problems with the passenger side motor mount losing its oil and so, effectiveness, which could also explain the vibration.

It had ocurred to me but this is so linked to the rear brace that I am going out to remove it... I also have a Milltek and the USS which has an issue which may be causal I'll report later
