That rocks... I personally never had a problem with the first 2...

but the rear "transmission case" was poorly done, caused frequent ring and pinion failures. Diff case wear needed to be addressed... ackerman needed to be addressed, and the lower spring retainers were a problem.

The rest... hmmm... maybe they needed fixed, maybe not, but I never had a problem with any of the other stuff listed.

Sounds like this may be a big improvement for reliability. The car itself was awesome, but it required a LOT of wrenching to keep it in good shape.
