Clutch is slipping pretty bad and I am sick of it so its getting changed next week.

I got a Sachs clutch kit and going to buy a LUK flywheel becasue I can only assume the flywheel is messed up from driving with worn out clutch.

What else should I do while I am under there?????

1.) check out the IMS bearing
- if bearing looks good should I just leave it or can looks be deceiving??
- Can it even be inspected properly while still in the motor with tranny removed??
- Is there and updated bearing from Porsche I can replace it with thats less than the $500 retro fit one??

2.) replace rear main seal

3.) Replace motor mount

4.) replace all 4 oxygen sensors

5.) replace sparkplugs and o-rings

Any thing else I am missing that should be done while I am under there for the clutch?? keep in mind, My boxster has 60k miles and has been beat pretty bad.
