This season -- larger tires and Konis on all four corners -- three events into the season and I've ripped the front sway bar bracket off of the passenger's side front strut housing (think this was partially due to the bracket not having been welded all the way around when Showa manufactured the strut housing). Bracket now TIG welded back in place.
Very large rear OEM sway bar holding fast (let's say the end links are a lot stronger than the standard pieces  )
Pictures for all of this in my locker....

OK, OK, OK. I take it back. You guys can all fight over who treats their car the worst.
The point was the Konis can handle it.
