If it's juddering because it's misfiring or because your dog-bone mount is loose or the bushes are worn then its bad, if it's juddering from more solid engine mounts then its ... whether it's good or bad depends on who the driver is lol
Mine judders alot because of the hard powerflex bushes on the dog bone mount.

Try to give a better description next time, don't know whether your car is stripped out and track prepped with solid mounts and no bushes for the engine or whether your car is normal.

Yea the powerflex dog bone bushes give more vibration through the cabin it's normal. If you uprate the upper engine and gearbox mounts with vibratechnics or VF engineering then you'll notice alot more vibration, THS mounts aren't so bad but they also increase vibration through the cabin. If you've only just fitted the powerflex dog bone bushes it will get better as it beds in but there will always be more vibration into the cabin than OEM bushes and your steering wheel will still vibrate on idle after it's bedded in. If you don't like it you could always swap out the bushes for stiffer oem bushes like from an r32, lcr, s3 etc.
