Default Modding a rear subframe

Just a fun thread to give me some ideas. A friend has been holding a new rear subframe for me and I'd like to know... what would you mod it with? Things like tubular control arms, phosphate dipped bolts, spindle mods... anything that attaches to the rear subframe. What would you do?

Srsly, tho... unless you're going to be under the car every 2500 miles cleaning everything (I've done that a few times...), it really isn't worth hassling with. The Focus's rear suspension works really well as is. Why mess with a good thing if it's a street car? If it were purely a trailered race car, then, yes... mod away!
