Sadly, they have no experience doing rear subframe bushings or sway bars or such. So what do you think? Is the price good to let an official Quaife importer do just the diff and i can probably do the RSFB/Sway bars later? or be patient and do it all together?
Is it the diff internals or full pumpkin? If internals I'd have shop do it and see if they'll let you do the RSFB/Sways while it's on the lift. Some shops have let me rent some lift time while doing other work at very reasonable rates, like $10/hr.

If it's a full pumpkin you won't need to do any shimming you could bolt in yourself.
