LCA Relocation Brackets worth it?

I am planning on installing some new LCAs in my 95 TA. I was wondering if the Relocation Brackets are worth the $$? If they are, which should I get...weld on or bolt on!! I kind of like the coated bolt-ons just because the are coated already!!
Thanks!

Of the 3 cars that I have driven that have them, all 3 of them had better traction after the brackets were installed. Less wheelspin and wheelhop. I say it's worth it. Get the weld-on ones too.

Yes, they're worth it. It's part of a full suspension system. Get weld in. You can weld in the bolt in type too but they usually come painted and you'll mess up the paint job when welding.

I'll give an alternate opinion that the bolt in ones are ok (at least the BMR ones).

Unless (as BMR told me): "...your car eventually dips into the 10's or you are pulling less than a 1.5 60 ft/time."

can relocation brackets be used even if the car hasn't been lowered? I was under the impression that they were used to compensate for lowering.

They can also be useful for non-lowered cars to improve traction.

Made a very big improvement in acceleration grip when coming off turns on my slightly lowered Z.
