4) remove tranny if broken
5) what other mods require dropping the subframe


1. no need to drop the SF (lower -- yes, drop -- no)
2. shims? sure... why?
3. bigger FRONT sway bar is not required.
4. duh
5. ambiguous question. dealer would drop SF (w/ powertrain attached) to replace wiring harness.

driver control arm requires SF lowered, not dropped. but then a regular strut job on a car w/ 4-bolt LCAs requires SF lowered. at least w/ BAT kit there is no other way to put it back together.
