Default relocation brackets?

So I'm in the market for some relocation brackets, but I'm trying to decide between BMR's and Sophin. Any suggestions? Oh yea, I'm looking for some LCA's too. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dimensionally,They're the same.Spohn are bare metal welds-in.BMR are coated bolt-ins.There are many threads debating/discussing weld-in vs. bolt-in.Do a relocation bracket search.

IMO, the bolt-ins are the better choice because there's no way (assuming they're built correctly) to screw up the installation as there is with weld-ins. With a little grinding, the bolt-ins can also be welded for additional strength.

I got the BMR bolt-ins and they were a breeze to install. Took me all of 30 minutes, including the time to cut the e-brake cable brackets.

Hi

The only real difference I can see is that the Spohn moves the lower mounting holes forward in an arch, meaning you can maintain the same pinion angle using the lower mouting points on a car with stock ride height and non adjustable control arms. If you lower the car, or use adjustable control arms then it realy makes no difference.
