And when you weld you are ruining the temper of the metal. You're pulling carbon up to the surface of the steel, and You're making the steel more prone to corrosion. Additionally all of the anti-corriosn coatings that Ford uses during manufacturing get burned away.
All that said. I like the BMR setup. It's bolted in and I don't have to concern myself with long term frame corrosion.

Hello,
Our engineers & designers do a lot of work to customize these pieces without sacrificing the integrity of the vehicle.
The factory rear ends are not painted and start to rust rather quickly.
The competition says anything faster than 1.7 Sixty Foot ... to weld them on your car.
Therefore we designed a weld in only style for performance and safety.
Once again ... every company is different & the choice is in your hands.
Best Regards,
TJ

Right from BMR's webpage:
The BMR Control Arm Relocation Brackets correct the vehicles instantaneous center, improving drag strip traction and handling traction during corner exiting. BMR can proudly claim that these Relocation Brackets are the only brackets in the industry that have been 1.1 sixty-foot times, BOLTED-ON! We also have many 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 sixty-foot combinations running these same pieces.

I think there is all kinds of spin on manufactures components, I think you missed this part:
CD,, NOTE: When using CAB005 with stock rear lower control arms, modification may be necessary to position control arms in upper mounting positions. There is always a catch. You need more parts.
I have dragged race for what seems like for ever. There are parts you would never use without welding. Ladder bars come to mind. if you are serious racer I would weld. if you are doing it for looks or racing a little bolt on's will work. But just like the note said there is always more... I am an engineer by trade and there is always a few ways to get things done...I am sure they all work but depends on what you want to accomplish.
