Default Anyone drill holes for swaybar in LCA

My GSR rear lower control arm came bent when I got it. (Stupid mail order) I gotta race on Sunday. Anyone drill holes through their LCA and come up with a secure way of mounting the GSR endlinks? Thanks.

umm i dont think thats safe at all. ive seen subframes rip and tear from the sway bars being so thick, so i think if u did this u might not be able to drive home. just chance it without the sways.... better safe than sorry.

Find a shop with a hydrolic press and straighten the arm out. I bent an arm a little while pressing out a bushing, and I bent it right back. If it's really bent, wait until you get new ones.

Considering how castings (cast lca's) react to bending let alone bending back, I would not suggest that for a suspension component. Too much of a safety concern for me.

I'm not worried about the subframe, Wil Beaks kicks butt. I'm not going to unbend a cast arm. I was wondering if anyone out there has drilled a hole through the LCA to mount the GSR endlinks. It would look like the 96 and up arm I guess.
