Default broken/bent rear stabilizer links

So I was getting an oil change this morning and they noticed my right rear stabilizer link was bent and the left had snapped. I just had it inspected in the last month and everything was fine then. Any idea what might have happened? I haven't even really been driving the car hard, just putting quite a few highway miles on.

Should I get some beefier links this time or is there some other mods i could add to help prevent this from happening again?

Not really a suspension guru as you can tell, but i did a search of this forum and came up w/ nothing really. Only suspension mod is tanabe springs and whiteline antilift. Thanks

you could ask the guy you bought the car from???

anyways.. last time i got the car aligned they had some trouble getting the rear driver side wheel to align to my specs.. they said the anti-lift kit was really throwing off the alignment.. i dont know if they knew what they were doing or not.. but right now would be the time to get some beefier sways and end links.. ive heard of end links breaking so i would be too suprised.. so how's the car coming?
