If you would like, PM me and I'll give you a great deal on some Steeda ones.
The BMR ones are bolt in design, but that can lead to issues. This part should not be bolted in. The force of launching your car on a sticky set of tires puts a tremendous amount of force on these brackets as your lowers are being compressed on launch. That is why we choose to only made a Weld in version, to prevent any issues when launching. We've had Zero failures in 5+ years and over 1000 sets out there. The same can not be said for BMR.
The Steeda ones offer more adjustment and are made from thicker material.

Sort-of. You want to make sure that the arms don't come above parallel under the suspension compression you see under acceleration. That means that at rest, the arms should slightly slope upward from the axle to the body.

That picture is an old BMR Design. We recommended they be welded in, as that design should have been really; especially on a set-up like the one pictured with Adjustable drag shocks and sticky Mickeys. I would be willing to bet, that happened on the track.
Now, our new design has been tested thoroughly. Our's are not welded on our test car, and have survived (and worked well) with very good sixty foot times.
They have also been tested on a 1,000 HP (LOW 9 SECOND) S197 that launches on a 2-step at over 5,000 RPM. Bolted in and not welded.
That being said, I generally always recommend them being welded on a "serious" combination, no matter the design; if the car will be going to a drag strip with sticky rear tires. But, I assure anyone reading this, you will NOT bend or break our CAB005 if they are installed and torqued correctly.
Thanks to some of you for the compliments!

Here is our current design that has had zero failures, and is the only bolt-on set of LCA Relo brackets that has proven to work successfully on Matt Dasilvas 7,000+ RPM Launching machine!

Here is the car we have tested them on. He still utilizes a FULL BMR Suspension, from front to back.

Hopefully with the 555r's I can see how quick this thing really is...

Good thing they were redesigned cause the last set that was on Matt’s car left him stranded at the season opener in Bradenton this year...

Were you up on Parmer the other day? I saw a car that looked like yours.

Are you assuming that Matt was using our Relocation Brackets at Bradenton?
Matt has not ever had an issue with a BMR part. The Relocation Brackets that he has broken, were not ours...............
