failure seems to apply to the weakest point in a plane - this place seems to be the swaybar mount to the subframe.
Therefore the mount itself , and the space behind it must take more / most load. By dispersing the load across a larger area ( IE ASR / new whiteline) and also needs some sort of anti-plucking reinforcement behind the swaybar mounting. The ASR kit and Beaks kit utilise this - they link the 2 mount bolts with a single larger piece of metal. Helps !
