dropping subframe was actually pretty easy. We used C clamps to clamp the brake lines. dont forget to unclip the lines attached to the subframe on each side. remove spring nuts on the exhaust/mid pipe. unscrew the hanger from the axleback exhaust, easy after removing diffuser. There is a rear cross brace you must remove totally which is in the shape of a V (youll see it). There is a steel piece which connects the front rear subframe bushings to the frame on the side which you must remove totally. put a jack underneath the diff housing and bring her down. now we must find a easy way to get the busings in and out.
