Question LCA relocation J&M Vs. BMR

I'm looking into buying some LCA relocation brackets, I have found two companys that make them and I was wondering if it is worth saving ~$40 and going with the J&M ones here or the BMR ones here?
-Thanks

i have a lot of bmr parts, personally i think their brackets hang too low, on this one id go with j&m, you have a miniscule amount more of ground clearance and their cheaper. weld them in too.

Should I buy the bolt on and have it welded or the weld only?

doesnt matter, youre going to want to weld it eventually anyway. my friend has a v6 no bolts, just sportlines and koni shocks, he has the bmr ones, we bolted them down and used redloctite and they still moved so youre going to want to weld them a bit anyway.

I have the bolt in che brackets and they have never moved. I've check them several times and not even a loose nut.

That said, i still want to weld them and I would not hesitate to go with J&M. the J&M control arms are well made, as are their brackets i'm sure.

So, you weld the relo brackets to keep them from moving only, or to keep them from breaking off?
