Gotta be careful with that. I was going to do that on my car, but I felt it would egg-shape the holes over time, as now the arms will pivot on the bolts and holes as opposed to the bushings. Possibly okay on a drag-only car, but I would inspect it regularly. I didn't do it because mine is a street-strip car and I felt they would wear too quickly and unnecessarily. Egg-shaped holes are a pita, street or strip, gotta weld and dress.
