You don't need to change the lower rear control arms to add a rear sway bar, however you will need to drill holes and reinforce the arms. The arms can be reinforced with steel pipe so that the sway bar when bolted to the arms do not collapse the arm. This is also the time when many of the guys box their control arms to gain even more strengh. Here is a link that will help you out - http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref16.html
