Any Suggested Modifications?

I'm putting in an OS Giken clutch GTS1CD and a quaife lsd now. I have the subframe dropped. My question is, what else should I buy/install while I have the subframe dropped and access to the entire right side of engine?

I already have the bsh poly mount. That thing vibrates too much for my taste. I have already modified it to reduce the vibration, but I may modify it more while its out. I can't even use my bluetooth anymore because of the vibration of the car.

I also have an eibach front sway that I seriously wanna drop in, but everyone on the forums are saying it doesnt need one...

Anyways, any suggestions or ideas on things to add?

have:
BSH poly mount
BSH catch can
Larger FMIC
hks bov
down pipe
alta exhast
craven short shifter
ast suspension
vorslag camber plates

Cool, I'll check to see of they are worn, unless you are referring to upgrading them?

You say you have a BOV, so you have a turbo? Are you twincharged or 2nd gen .

I'm ok with you posting here, I would just think you might get better answers in the 2nd gen

Yes upgrade them to Power Flex bushing and you won'y have to replace them for a long time if ever.
