Default Will I kill myself?

I'm going to try to lower my car tommorow. I have BMR springs, Strano revalves, adjustible panhard bar, and weld in lower control arm relocation brackets. My question concerns the relocation brackets...

I plan to bolt them up wtommoro and have them welded during the week. I need to know if its safe to carefully drive to a shop to have them welded like that?

If they are a bolt-in relo bracket. Why wouldn't it be safe. They aren't expecting you to weld them anyway because they are a bolt-it part. If they are weld on brackets how are you going to bolt them on?

Why not just have the place who is going to weld them also install them not like they are hard to install.

I don't know how much he would charge to install them, but even 50 bucks for me goes along way. If its a really bad idea I'll just have him do it, otherwise I'll go for it myself.

Not sure it would be that good of an idea things could move and get binded up. If you went slow it might be ok but I wouldnt recommend it.
