What all involved in relocating the control arms, and did you weld the brackets or bolt?

what about weld ins, do you have to have a shop cut the old ones out and weld the new ones in, nd what is usually preferred bolt, or weld.

If you have bolt-on BMR's like I did >>

The hardest part of the install is cutting the old bracket that is currently on the car. The BMR won't squeeze over the old assembly, so the directions show you where to cut it.

If you have a Saws-All, no problem. Otherwise you are in for a LOOOONG afternoon!

Here's a good install doc on the bolt-ins. They're no big deal to install - just a little time consuming. As Mike mentioned, a sawz-all with a good blade makes short work of the brake brackets.

Get the bolt on and have them welded later.
