-Repack axles w/Redline CV-2, replace boots
-Clean & paint subframe w/VHT epoxy
-Install STI diff mounts
-Install STI subframe bushings
-Install tS stoppers
-Install longer tS subframe bolts
-Install Weir 4.556 FD
-Chase the female threads for the subframe with a tap
I'm planning to make a video of the subframe swap and rebuild process.

I think I've got a set of unused STI rear diff bushings somewhere. Decided to just do Whiteline inserts instead of the press out-in. Was holding on to them in case I had to replace the bushings for some reason, but the inserts work well enough that I'd probably just use a new set of regular bushings plus inserts again if I didn't have these. I'd be willing to sell them to someone planning to actually install them though, better than sitting in my basement for years lol. PM me if you are interested and I can dig them out of my stack-o-parts.
