Breaking stock swaybar mounts...replacements?

I keep breaking my stock front swaybar mounts (frame mounts). What is a good aftermarket replacement that won't break?

I had the same problem when i went to poly bushings. I finally took a closer look at the bushings, and found the poly ones were a little longer than the stock ones. Therefore the bracket was not sitting flush with the frame and causing it to stess and break. So i thought to put a washer between the frame and bracket, and shave the bushings a little. I haven't had a problem since.
