Thanks Duke, I'll be posting a thread on my car within the next week or so, my task list now is:
1) Put the axles back on
2) Readjust the clutch (and I had it adjusted perfectly before)
3) Raise the car 1/2-5/8"
4) Full alignment/corner balance
Grady,
When I pulled the first bolt out I was shocked at just how much wear there was and how identically it matched all the other cases out there. This really is a big deal, and I appreciate all the information you have put out there. I am very very glad I didn't put it off any longer.
Also based on the recommendation in your posts I upgraded my pinch-type struts to wedge pin type, I'm hoping for the same benefit as the differential upgrade: No loud expensive noises (or accidents). An added side benefit is the ability to bolt on S calipers.
The threads that were the most useful to me were:
1) Project 911's simplified disaster.

2) Randy Webb and Scott Clarke's upgrade

3) MikeDL's "Simplified Differential" thread

I'm sure there are others. I still find the Upfixin article to be the most concise.
