ive read that the only real and best way is to get the weld in relocation brackets but i bought the bolt in ones because i do not have a welder. is there any problems or down sides to the bolt ins?

 

Yeah... they're not welded.

On the other hand, no down sides at all, if you weld them.

Put them in as per the instructions; drive to the muffler shop; pay the $20 or whatever to get them to weld them.

 

Bolt in ones are actually a good way to go because you can put them in youself and then drive to a shop to get them welded.

 

what if i dont weld them?

 

Where did you go to get your bolt in LCA Relo. brackets?

no way hawks is a rip off they overcharge. pm mr_dude1 or mrdude_1 he has the best site and theyre like 80 with FREE shipping

 

Well then you're a .... never mind.

Weld them.

Eventually the bolt holes will wallow out, and your rear will just kind of flop around back there. And "eventually" isn't very long in this case.

Weld them.

 

the UMI ones arent that bad like 70 i think with new hardware. shipping cant be more than 10$ i think...

i got the bolt ins bc my rear is pretty rusted and idk if i want to keep it or just get one thats in better condition. the weldin ones come natural with no coating and if u weld them in ur gona have to get them painted ASAP. also the bolt ins have a sexy powdercoating

i thought the elongating of the bolt holes only happen with bolt in SFC's? never heard of that with the relocation brackets....ive heard many with the bolt ins with no probs

 

We actually have never had any issues with our bolt on style relocation brackets and as mentioned they can be welded at any time if desired. I pasted a link below to our bolt-on and weld-in set-ups, if you have any questions please ask and I am glad to help.

hey UMI Performance...ur products are amazing, i got ur boltin relocation brackets and adjustable panhard rod (spherical ends) and all the hardware and i have to say the quality is great, and the powdercoatings make them look amazing. good work

 

That is great hear

Thanks again for the business!

 

I've got the UMI's on order. Actually, they've been on order for awhile now, but none the less, I've heard so many good things, I'm willing to wait.

....but I've done a LOT of research, and although everyone seems to have stories of horrific "bolt-in" problems, I only found ONE person who had a problem, compared with countless people who've had 'em bolted in for a long time with no problems.

...I do plan to have mine welded in when I get my SFCs done, but I wouldn't worry 'bout it if I didn't.

I got my bolt in ones here. great price and product!

 

I purchased a pair from Spohn as well as LCA's (waiting for UPS to bring them), they say they need to be welded in but they look like bolt-on's to me. How long would I be safe with just bolting them in and waiting to have them welded in when I buy SFC's?
