no, different length control arms. you'd have nasty camber and trailing arm bushing binding problems.

They're mostly for bling and looks. Yea some of them save a couple of pounds, but it's really not going to make much a difference.

If your car didn't originally come with a sway bar and you want to add one, aftermarket arms might cost less than new OEM arms with sway bar provisions, but there are only a couple of after market ones that actually have the sway bar holes in the correct location.
