Best way to remove factory lower control arm mounts?

I just used a grinder with a cutting wheel. They didn't need to be pretty...just gone. Cleaned 'em up with a grinder and spray painted.

If you have access to fancier cutting tools, use 'em. The cutting wheel approach will take you a good hour, but it works fine.

if you use a grinder, you will definitely need a long wheel.
 
The mounts on the unibody are galvanized (at least they were on mine) so don't breath the smoke if you use a plasma/torch.

I used a torch and 4" grinder. I would have done it only with the grider but I ran out of cutting wheels.
 
As stated earlier, if you have access to a plasma cutter, use that and then clean it up with a grinder. I did mine with a 4 1/2" grinder. It was a bit of a pain, but not too bad.
