How to tiebars(?) stop this?

Basically the only way to 100% be sure this wont happen is with one of these ASR kits

Personally I think its overkill unless you’re running a crazy sway bar setup above 26mm-28mm.
That being said I wouldn’t run anything above 18mm without some sort of reinforcement kit. IE standard white line heavy duty mounts or a beaks kit for a ITR/CTR sway bar setup. But these are only 98% effective and you can still tear the sub frame with them. The white line one “plucks” the bolts and the beaks kit would do the above.

Come on. You only had to look at the most recent thread in the 'suspension' forum:

And it looks something like this:
