People have reported sway bar bracket damage with the stock rear sway bar from simple things like driving down an icy rutted freeway.
I see reinforcing the rear subframe swaybar brackets as good preventative maintenance - especially with an Aussie bar!
I'd highly recommend doing this. My Aussie bar broke one of my stock brackets a couple months ago. I had it rewelded and icy rutted roads rebroke it within a couple weeks. The fix by ATI has been a good decision on my part. No problems at all. I don't beat on my car but freeway ramps are alot more fun now. Evasive driving is also much safer.
