BIG Problems with install

I need some help and/or advice,

I was in the process of lowering my CL and the front is done, no problems, took about 3 hours with some casual breaks. Buy when I got to the back the bolts are seized at the bottom of the strut. I know that this is a common problem and some of you have had to deal with this.

My question is for you guys that had to deal with this is basically what did u do?? I took it to a shop and they estimated it to be approximately an 8 hour job because they couldn't drill through it, they had to take it all apart and cut through the bolts and then punch the rest of the bolts out. I know I have to get new bushings and bolts, no problem, but was wondering how hard the job would be to fix this.

Anything any of you could do would be much appreciated.

PS: the car is real low in the front and stock in the back, looks kinda weird, lol.

It should not be an 8 hour job if they have everything they need maybe 3-4 hours for labor and then parts. You will need to cut the bolt press the bushing out and press another one in. You could just go to the junkyard and get a used lower arm with the bushing already in for about the same price as getting a new bushing and having it pressed in. you can get one off an accord or a cl just another option.
