Been running them for about 20k miles. No issues.

Thanks for the replies. RrCoX22, I'm definitely getting the brackets, I was just concerned about how safe bolt on brackets would be. Seems like they would be under quite a bit of stress back there but much easier to put on since I wouldn't have to find someone to weld them on for me. I still decided to do weld on brackets just because I'd feel better about it.

Bolt on's here. A buddy of mine on here has a 10 sec Z and has been running the bolt on's for a couple years now. If I have any trouble I will just weld them.

Will they bolt up to a strange 12 bolt? I'm just not sure how they bolt onto the axle as in what bolt hole do they use?

Thanks for the pic. Those are becoming an option again. Much easier than finding someone to weld in the others.

ya honestly if your gonna have some problems finding someone to weld em on just get the bolt-in ones. like previously mentioned they're good for lots of power even on 10 sec. cars. far as a hooking up with 12 bolt I think there's a few out there that will work.

it will work with the strange rears because they're axle tubes and lca brackets are abou the same as stock. moser rears will need bigger brackets.

Juiced, have you installed the rear bolt yet? Your supposed to drill a hole on the rear -above lca bracket- so the brake line wont move as much.

I waited over two weeks untill I finally installed drilled/installed a bolt, the bad part is I had to remove the lower controls arm to do so.

Well, I haven't drilled any holes. It wasn't on my instructions from BMR. Everything in the pic is loose, I took it all back off to paint the rear black and change shocks after I got it all test fitted. The pic isn't very good to look at but I only cut off the inside part of the bracket, so the part that is towards the outside is still bolted with the top bolt. I went out and checked it now that you mentioned it and it doesn't seem to want to move. I think I will let it go for now but, thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on it.
