Default Suspension question?

I just ordered CHE lower control arms, upper control arms, and anti-squat brackets for my car because I didn't want any traction problems in the winter with possible snow and I would have ordered them early next year anyway(and have the spare money now without dipping into emergency money). I can install them with a friend in the driveway, but since readin some posts in the 2005+ section of our cars, a lot of GT owners weld on their control arms and antisquat brackets. I may have a supercharger one day, so should I get them welded on? If so, you think it would be ok if I installed them, drove to a shop with a welding machine and then get them welded or would that not be possible? Please give me your advice. I probably am going to get them welded just for insurance, but am not sure on the route of how to do it(if necessary, which I think it is).

As stated, gt people with a couple bolt-ons pushing around 270-290rwhp who were getting control arms for their cars were suggested to have them welded on. It's a precautionary thing I was thinking of doing because I know with the mods I am thinking and have done that if I decide to go f/i I will be in that category easily. I think welding also stops the control arms from moving much so they work more efficiently that way too. Any one else have opinions on this topic?
