Adding rear shock brace to my sedan

I just got done overhauling the suspension on my sedan, and the only thing left is a good set of coilovers. There’s only a few options for aftermarket adjustable spring buckets and I’d rather not drop $1K on those when I can replace them for much cheaper toe arms. So im pretty set on getting a true type coilover for that reason and personal preference. Going that route I 100% want to reinforce where the shocks mount to the chassis. Welding up a custom brace is not an issue, but I’m not sure how complicated it needs to be and where the best places to mount it would be. Are there any structural parts of the frame that would be able to handle that kind of load behind the rear seats? Before I begin tearing apart the rear of my car I’d like to know if anyone else has tackled this issue and what ended up being sufficient and/or overkill. Thanks.
