Default Rear Struts on a 94 TEG( What a pain)

I have done a few car lowerings in my day, but recently I have lowered my 94 LS TEG and snapped the bolts going threw the rear control arms. Tried to use an impact hammer to get the busted bolts out but have been unsuccessful. I ended up having to hone the snapped bolts out with some titanium drill bits, which was a serious pain, but successful in the end. Well now Im lowering another 94 LS TEG and have run into the same problem with snapping the heads of both bolts off. I hit it everything with some PB spray and let it sit for a while to help me through the process, but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone have some expert advise to help me get these damn bolts out without having to go through the long process of honing these things out again.

sounds like you need to replace the bushing if you want to salvage the lower control arm. or just get a whole new control arm.
