I have a aftermarket Midwest chasis torque arm and it mounts to the tabs that are spot welded on the floor pan . How do you prevent these mounts from ripping off its just sthin metal and spot welds holding all the force??? My 99 ss had diamond subframe connectors that tied into that mount which nobody makes sbf connectors like that anymore which Idk why? I know this is a issue because a couple people at the local track ripped the spot welds out of the mount launching.

Acceleration force pushes UP on the floor, so its not stressing the welds much. Heavy braking would be where they would be ripped off, and Ive never heard of that happening though i spose anything is possible.

^ this. It is a compression force against those mounts so there is no real load applied to the mounting of them. The only time it comes up as an issue is if the car hits something with the crossmember and puts the mount in a shear load which results in bent/broken stuff.
