    While I'm in there- rear end.

    I am planning on replacing my diff soon with a 3.73lsd for my turbo build. I also need to replace my rear subframe bushings. What else should I do while I am in there and drop the whole subframe and diff down?

        3 or 4 clutch (use a Porsche clutch, they're a bit thinner and can fit).

        You may want to get some weld-in adjusters or an adjustable subframe and do that while you're in there. That is, if you want better traction.

        Check CSB and u joints
        Trailing arm bushings
        Diff bushing
        Brake lines (chassis to subframe)

        Depending on your power goals I also might consider revising your decision on a 3.73.
