You don't have to take the bolt out to cut the bushing just drop the lower control arm by loosening the lower ball joint and then hold it out of the way with one hand and cut the bushing using a hack saw with the other hand.
It sounds like more work than it actually is, I think it took me maybe 15 minutes to lower each side on my car using this method. :cheers:

Re: front lowering bolts....question... (runamuk)
i can't lower the lower arm....so i lowered the upper arm but got stuck because i forgot to raise the spring up to unscrew this morning....so just wonder how hard to uncrew it since it is ball.
