Default Lower Control Arms

So I was in the process of lowering my car and when I got to the rear it came out the bolts were frozen to the bushings. So I ordered Omnipower LCAs and was wondering if it'd be alright to replace with the stock LCAs while having stock shocks. Most cars I've seen, the shocks have also been replaced. Would I also have to replace my shocks when putting in the Omnipowers?

Also, there is no place to bolt on the sway bar to the LCA like there is on the stock one. Is there an alternative for this or do I just have to manage without the swaybar? Need a reply pretty fast as I plan on doing all this today and I've read about how long it takes to take out the frozen bolts.

Thanks in advance.

there is. theres a hole in the LCA instead of the stcok ones that have a threaded end. u just need to get a nut of the bolt and put it through.



see the nut inbetween the shocks and the tie bar bolt. thats where the sway bar goes into

As far as stock shocks/struts bolting up to the Omni LCA's I dont see why not, but do not know from expierence. The sway bar will bolt up to the Omni's I have them with a stock sway, just the factory bolts wont work. Go somewhere and get some longer bolts. I think mine are 85mm in length, and I used locking nuts to secure them. I will post a few pics later tonight.
