Default Relocation bracket installation?

How hard are the weld in relocation brackets to install. I'm going to lower my car soon, but I'm not sure whether to get weld in or bolt on brackets. I'm still up in the air on what springs to get also. I wanted the LG2s but, they seem to be out, or so I heard. So I'm leaning towards BMR. Thanks for the help.

The thing with the bolt-ins is, there's no chance of
getting them in there wrong, angle-wise. I've seen
some pictures once of some guy who got weld-ins
installed and it looked as if the shop welded them in at
two different angles. Not good. You can weld in the
bolt-ons (though this is not necessary). The bolt-in
ones I believe are heavier by a bit, this (and the extra
20 bucks or so) are their only drawbacks.

Very easy if you just get bolt-ins, and then you can weld them for added strength.

Thanks for the input. The only problem I ended up having was that there wasn't a bracket for the e-brake. I'm gonna end up fabbing a bracket from the original brackets.

BMR Weld in's come with very detailed instuctions to make sure you get it right.

Basically. It needs to be on tires and the control arm should be able to swing to all 3 holes without moving the rear.

I recommed weld in's.....bolt ins just dont seem like they would be as strong seeing only the lower shock bolt is your mai support. Also once there welded you ever have to worry about them again.
