after market suspension
am i puttin more stress to the frame/subframe of my car if i drive my car pretty hard with after market suspension? i.e. spring/schocks combo or coils?
cuz from my past experience, i know that if i run aftermarket springs with stock shocks setup, when i perform a hard cornering, i'm addin more stress to the frame of the car

Yes, you are putting more stress on your car.
The real question is will anything break? So far, I've only seen one post with respect to broken welds/seams on an A4 with an aftermarket suspension. I believe it was Anand on the A4 forum, and I think he had Eurosport springs and factory sport shocks...a fair mild set up. More likely than not, his failure was a pre-existing defect.
