hey i got a idea to make it stronger. bare with me since its harder to explain certain things over the net.

make it mount the way i talked about befor but have square plates on both ends. in the center of the plate have a hole for the threaded end of the shock. then 2 or 4 more holes drilled in the plate for bolts, these holes can be used for a template for drilling tho shock mounting area.
then have a plate that would have a hole in the center for the shock and holes taped or bolts welded in,matching up with the bolt holes on the strut bar ends. this plate would sit between the shock lower bushings body side and body. so in case some thing bad happens the threaded end of the shock is not the only thing holding it in the car. also havening the plate on the out side threaded for the extra bolts would make it a lot stronger and stiffer
