I've got the Racing Beat support blocks. If there's a large enough interest I can probably get measurements and get some made up locally. (Though I assume you will need new mount points regardless)

I just welded in 50x50 3mm shs to support the swaybar. They are not going anywhere in a hurry.

theres a wicked video i watched which was an under car shot at the mount while going around a racetrack....

definitly thought about the mount braces after that. the braces basically stop the mount from compreessing up towards the chassis and breaking.
