What do you guys recommend, the weld ins or the bolted on relocation brackets for the lower rear control arms. Here are some pics of the brackets I found on ebay.

 

and here are the weld ons.

 

Go with weld ons.

 

if you plan on swapping rears WHEN (not if) your 10bolt breaks, get bolt ins.

if you plan on keeping that rear and rebuilding the guts, or, if you intend to pull less then 1.55 60ft times, get the weld ins.


if you do buy weld ins, do not get powdercoated ones.... you'll just have to grind the coating back off for a good weld anyway.

 

IMO, Relocation brakes are cheap enough, that you can run them on the factory 10 bolt until it breaks or you upgrade. then get them again for what you upgraded too.

Also, IMO, i would never touch bolt in Relocation brackets.

 

Why not? that seem pretty beefy and look to mount quite securely to the rear... I've seen a few very fast cars with them at the track.

 

I just don't trust em, now i might take the bolt in ones and weld them on, but i would never just bolt them on and leave em at that, i just dont trust it.

 

get the bolt in ones, i have them , they are a fine design and then can be welded in if you like .

 

Thanks for the info. Ill probably get the bolt ons for now, until I can buy the welder.

 

very happy with my UMI weld ins

 

I got bolt-ons and could care less. Gotta figure, most of the car is held on by bolts that are graded to handle certain stresses that apply to that area...the bolts holding my LCA's in place are some tough cookies

 

i choose a bolt in LCARB because when i have to replace or want to replace my rear end i don't want to have to shell out another $75 - $100 for another set.

 

Definatley weld em in. Those look like the Spohn brackets I have on my car.
