If it's like my 93 Lightning then they are rivets. Drill out a 3/16" hole in the middle of the rivet, then a 1/4" hole, then use a chisel to cut the head off, then punch it out the other side. Drill at a slow speed, use cutting oil, push hard, or use high rpm and a dry bit....and use about 3 bits for each rivet. BTDT

I took of my brackets to install a lowering kit (sorry I threw out the old ones). Moog sells new front radius arm brackets, maybe they sell rear ones. Or see if someone with a lowering kit will give you thier old bracket.

I am talking about the front braket, the rear hanger is similar, IIRC
