If you didnt drill it out, how did you install the new bolts to the bracket?

I read that some guys dont and they say they're fine.

When I installed my ASR brace, I tried to install as it but I just couldnt get a clean, tight fit with the stock bolt in there. So I drilled it out.

Drilling out the welded nut allows you to tighten the bolt thoroughly.

Your suppose to drill out, it's part of the instructions...

If you have not already, read this. It's the proper way to install it.
