Default Stock control arms?
How many people use their stock control arms after lowering the car? I do not do any autocrossing or any track racing. Just street driving. Thanks.

The stock control arms will be fine, but you should get some relocation brackets to get those control arms parallel to the ground.

The BMR Bolt-ins. Incredible how well they work without having to weld! Bolted Spohn Adjustables in place of the stock lca's as well.

I went with the UMI weld in's, I was alittle concerned with strength when it came to the bolt ons becasue they were only support by the lower shock bolt.

However I havent heard any problems yet

They're not only supported by the shock bolt. There is a side bolt that passes through the middle of the thing.

I also have the BMR bolt-in relocation brackets. They do the job just fine with no issues.
