LCA Relocation Brackets

ok, its time to start w/ the suspension. regarding LCA relocation Brackets. The weld on ones look good, but what do you guys think off the bolt in ones. Personally i don't like the idea of having them bolted on, any guys with experience of either. it would be easier to just bolt them on rather than getting them welded, but what do u think?
thanks for the info

I've got the bolt on ones and haven't had any problems at all.

I've heard from a pretty reliable source that some popular bolt on LCA reloc. brackets are pretty flimsy and should be welded in place.

Check out BMR products. They seem good to me. That's what I run along with LCA's.

Random Technology has a super bite kit that come's with adjustable torque arm, LCA's, and LCA relocator brackets. (That's the suspension kit that I'm going with). They said that you have to weld them on, Spohn says the same. I wouldn't use a bolt on relocator bracket, too much important components could sway and bend stuff. Do yourself a favor, bolt them on, then weld them for strength!

I have the Homemade Motorsports ones welded in, and they haven't moved at all, but the tires still don't bite like I would like them to.
