Default Lower control arm relocation bracket

what's the difference between brands (BMR, Spohn, ect)? Shouldn't they do the same thing?

Also which is better (stronger), weld in or bolt on?

Lastly, how do the brackets effect ground clearance?

Thanks

In theory, they should do the same thing. I havent really seen or heard anything about one brand being better than the other but i dont have my preferences....

Of course, if you weld them they will have a stronger bond than the bolt ons but if you for example welded them to your stock 10 bolt, and replaced it with a 12 bolt, you would hav to either get a new set of unweld the originals and re weld. You can always by a set of bolts ons, than later weld them if you it necesary.

The ground clearance shouldnt be an issue...

good luck!!

Its not much difference betwene brands, its pretty hard to screw up something as simple as a relocation bracket.

Most like the weld in design, I dont really care for the bolt in, plus its cheper if you know how to weld, or have a friend that does.

Ground clearence is unchanged.
