Installation is easy and worth the time since you are putting all that other stuff in. I'm not sure if the relocation brackets can be bolted on (all my stuff is welded).
You can buy the brackets for about $50, probably less. With the right equipment you can make your own.

You'll want the LCA re-location brackets if you're lowering the car.
Spohn makes some nice weld-in brackets. I needed the bolt-ins, as I have two differently geared rears.
Both work.

Yes you can weld "bolt on's". In fact, this method is preferred.

if you're lowerng the car and don't want increased wheel spin and/or tire hop, get them.
Spohn has weld in, and BMR Fabrications has weld in and bolt in, and you can weld the bolt in units. Welded will be much more secure.

the weld-in brkts are only about 60 bux. Then you pay to weld them in. For me that would be times 2.
BMR makes bolt-in brkts for about 100 bux. One cost, used for both.

The Spohn ones are of unbelievably high quality. I highly recommend them. It's real cheap to get them welded on too, $25 job at any muffler shop.

Steve does make quality stuff. That is why I went to his shop to get his SFC's welded in. I also got his (center)adj LCA's. I got them with poly on bothends, but later, when I wanted 'rod' on one end, he made just the one end for me on order.
But the weld-in LCA brkts, that's 65 per, plus welding @ 25 per, that's 180 for the two differentials. Compared to the 110 for the bolt-in brkt.
It's a matter of budget. I am currently having to pull the 350 to find out why it lost oil pressure at the track a few week-ends ago.
