Busted my sway bar mounts

[SkiFree]

Why would they not fit verts? There's a big "other size" blank box.

the plates ireland makes are fine just dont fit verts

Welcome to the party, same thing happened on both sides to mine with stock springs, stock sways, stock everything.

I am contemplating how to fix it. Ireland engineering has this:

I have a welder and the old tabs that broke off, however I am doubting how clean of a job I can do being upside down with the subframe still on the car. I sure as shit dont want to drop the subframe since then I will need to realign it.

What to do, what to do.

looks like ireland only makes those for 19,22 and 25mm sways,correct me if im wrong but verts have 21mm

Been there before. I was on stock springs, and had stock sway bars. I just swapped in a new, to me, subframe. The main reason mine went was rust. Even the tiniest bit of rust on an already thin and weak point spells disaster.
Hope you are able to fix it without too much of a hassle.

Common problem with larger bars. Need to buy some reinforcement plates.

Apparently im some kinda bad ass
Im on stock springs, all season tires. Car is an 87 vert; I did install a Ireland strut bar and im thinking this put more stress on the bigger vert sway?
thoughts?
