Default bent subframe need some help

after i bend my subframe back, how many more problems am i gonna have? once metal bends it becomes fatigued and looses all of its strength. aside from the ASR brace, anyone have pictures or have seen how someone else, or themselves have added extra bracing to this point on the chassis? cant go wrong with stiffening up as much as possible can i? although what about welding this area? sheetmetal heats up really quick, and i dont want to stress the metal any more then it is. i dont want to get it all bent back into place and have the thing tear apart in a few hard corners, or have problems with things lining up, or bending more later down the road. any help would be much appriciated other then just bend it back? if i bend it back it will just bend right back into the place it is now, and be even weaker then it is now, and possibly break out then i will have more problems then i have now. im planning on going with a much larger sway in the future, and dont want to have more problems come from this problem now.
