How well do bolt on LCA Relocation brackets work?

I'll be doing the SLP Bilstein's and Eibach's soon also with a 10-bolt w/3.73's

A friend and I can do all the work if there isn't any welding involved. Would it be wise to weld the bolt on's afterward?

weld them, they will work loose and move if you don't.

They work VERY well - worth the money easily.

As Java said, WELD THEM IN! (even if they are "bolt-in"

I have the BMR weld-on LCA relocation brackets and I like them alot. This and a RR airbag are two cheap $$ suspension mods.

Thanks for the input so far...

I've seen several brands of Relocation brackets does it matter who's I get?

BMR bolt on's and get them welded in?

or

Global West Weld in's that can be adjusted?

I'm only dropping my car like a 1/2 inch to what a SS/FireHawk with the SLP Bilstein/Eibach kit would be and from the factoy these cars don't have a relocation bracket.
