Do the subframe connectors at the same time you do the springs. These cars with lots of torque tear themselves apart without subframe connectors. The rear end is trying to lift the body off of the front subframe and you start pulling the body mounts through the subframe holes. This is especially true, if your subframe has typical amounts of corrosion and wear at the body bushing mounts.

The more power and the more traction you have, the worse this gets. After seeing what was happening with my car before I added the subframe bushings, this is in my opinion a critical item.
