LCA lowering bracket question

Hey I had teh ones from BMR that bolted on, now that doesnt seem very effective but Im not sure what there is to gain from having them welded, I am going to replace one that is broken,from an accident its only bent, with another bolt on version if its still around unless there is something bad about it.... is there anything bad about not having them welded?

If you're not loading the suspension up with big torque and HP, the bolt-ins will probably be fine. For a 500HP stroker, the weld-ins would probably be better, eliminating the additional load on the shock bolts/brackets. Just make sure to keep all the bolts tight.

Thanks for the info, what about if I was going to autocross the car? Is it any more structurally important on a corner than in a strait line?
