Default BMR only bolt-in Relocation Brackets?

just as titles state, Is BMR the only one who makes bolt-in LCA relocation brackets?

That I'm aware of...that's what I have on mine, and didn't see any others that came as a bolt in.

I don't know actually. If you plan on going to a 12 bolt don't get the bolt in, get the weld on instead, the bolt in won't fit. From what I've found looking around they are the only ones I've found so far, but don't hold me too that.

I have heard that LCA's are needed when the car is lowered. Is this correct? And what is the reason for them? Thanks.

There sites only show the weld-on type, I believe BMR is the only company that makes the bolt-on relocation brackets.

If your talking about LCA relocation brackets being needed when lowering your car. The answer is yes and no. If you want to be able to do a burnout and not wheelhop or ever try to hook real good which I'm sure you do. But if you just drive your car and don't ever floor it then no you don't need them. All they do is level you LCA's back out so that they aren't at an upward angle. With them at an upward angle you are losing traction. I installed mine about 3 months ago and I could kick my a$$ for not doing it before. They made a big difference. It seems like the car plant's the rearend a whole lot better. I got mine used in perfect condition for $65 shipped definetly worth. Now if my GS-D3's will ever come in I will really be able to try them out.

Awesome! FYI....I just put GS-D3's on all 4 corners! Holy crap! Huge difference! You are gonna love them! It's a lot harder to spin them out on dry surface, and in the rain they are freaking amazing! Well worth the money!

That is partially correct...bolt-on relocation brackets will actually fit on a 10-bolt and a Strange 12-bolt. They won't fit on a Moser 12.
