One question I have is about the rear upper shock mounts:
How much stress/racing can that area tolerate before you gotta strengthen that mounting bracket?
I mean, it looks pretty weak - just stamped and folded sheetmetal spot welded to the underside of the trunk panel?

Not a lot. We've blown out the holes in a couple of cars and torn one cross member completely out of a car once. Easy fix is to weld the ends better and then make some spacers and bolt the center rib to the trunk pan. You can also reinforce the bolt hols a bit by tacking in some williams washers.
