the rear suspension of my car is under the control of satan
This is stopping me from finishing my swap and driving the damn car 
passenger side rear suspension, trying to put my coilover in and the head to the shock bolt sheared off and the head to the lower control arm bolt sheared off...
what's everyone's favorite way of removing a bolt in this condition ? I'm thinking either drill it out or somehow cut the bushing out but it's still somewhat threaded on the other side.
to shitty bolts, and I put penetrant on them for about 3 days before I even tried to break them loose today, some grease monkey with an impact wrench prob put these on with like 200ft/lbs

pm Satan and tell him to stop.
Seriously I'd just drill 'em out.
Which shock bolt broke off? The main one at the bottom that the lca bolts to?

Re: the rear suspension of my car is under the control of satan (Prod)
I had the same thing happen with dennis car. I went through 4 drill sets getting that POS bolt out. I got it out and rigged something in to get him home. Hate to tell you but most likely you will need to get a new lca. I used a center punch to get it in the middle before I went and drilled it and it still got messed up.

perfect ! i tried drilling it and it wasn't looking too promising but I'll give it one more shot...the only thing i can be happy about is the bolts holding the control arm to the car aren't frozen
soo does anyone have a rear passenger lca ?

did you try drilling it yet? That bolt was like grade 8. I would start drilling and bam snap the bit.
