LCA Brackets

I plan on getting the Thunder Racing package that includes a adjustable panhard rod, 1.3"drop Eibach springs and LCA Brackets. My question is are the weld in that much better than the bolt in? The bolt in raise the price by $40.00. The reason I want to know is I want to hook up my car but, I want to take the aftermarket stuff off if I ever sell the car. Assume I could get a little of the money I spend on them back. Thanks

Weld in is better

It would make sense that something that welds in is going to stronger and more stable than something that bolts. If you are concerned about being able to transfer back to stock, then definitly go with bolt in.
I'm not sure, someone else might be able to provide better info., but I wonder if enough twisting accurd, if you could bend or rupture the bolt ons.
I had an hour and half long conversation with Sam Strano of Stranoparts.com about a week ago, he basically stated that lower brackets, on the right setup, aren't all they're cracked up to be. If the rest of your suspension is setup right, you shouldn't even need them, but that if you wanted them, or were considering them, he suggested trying your ride without them first, then if you feel you need them, but them.

They come with the package and if you want the bolt in ones they are 40 dollars more. I might just get the springs and PHR then, Thanks

thanks for the input guys, I read the stuff on that strano guys discussion board that was suggested earlier. I think I'll just get the springs, PHR, and an adustible Torque arm. Thanks again.
