Question Relocation Brackets... Which brand to go with?

Hey guys... i've decided i'm going to sell my Random Technology Relocation brackets because i'm not too crazy about the design of them. What brackets do you guys recommend out there? I was thinking about getting the BMR bolt-in kit, then grinding off some of the powder coat and welding them in place as well for extra strength...

i just put on the bmr bolt ins a couple months ago and havent had any problems with them. you dont need to weld them unless you are paranoid, and if thats the case i believe the weld-in ones are alittle cheaper, so you might as well just get those.

have the bolt-in relocation brackets and have no probs.... the weld-in are supposeably for "supported strength" but many rides into the 10's at least at the track sport the bolt-ins

if the bolt-ins are working for guys in the 10's than i should be fine with them... My car just about has the entire suspension finished on it minus subframes which will probably be my next purchase. I'm not looking to make my car a drag car either. It's my daily driver and I'm looking for a respectable 450-500hp range... nothing too crazy but will smoke most of what I pull up next to

One thing i was worried about with the bolt-ins... does anyone get any rattle from them? i just figure the weld-ins would of course be less apt to rattle... the only trouble is if i get the weld-ins i can't install them myself and i have to go an hunt for a place to install them, then i have to worry about if they did it right I like to do as much work on my car myself if at all possible that way i know the job was done right...
