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.

Hes weird, they do have the hole, anyways, stock/aftermarket LCA's are the same. Just lighter, stronger, and damn so goood looking.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I was thinking that's the hole for the sway bar. It was more common sense, was just wondering if it'd actually work with a new bolt and nut because I haven't even put the LCAs on.

yes it will work with a new bolt and nut..

be sure to get a high grade bolt and nut so it doesn't break or crack when it's under pressure.
