Rear main oil seal?

Whats up guys! I have a question. I have recently purchased a new ACT clutch and a fidanza flywheel. I also bought some redline MT90 for the gear oil. I wanted to know if anyone has done these mods and replaced there oil seal? I was told that it is a good idea and want to do buy but the dealership must order for me. Any experianced comments. Thanks!
P.S.
Thae car has 75000 miles.

If your rear main seal is not leaking, I would be hesitant to replace it. There is a possiblity that you can botch the install and have to drop the tranny again. Moreover, it is a $30 part, even discounted. I have to say though that mine probably started slowly leaking at 80k miles or so--I just didn't realise it...thought it was just high oil consumption in a higher mileage car. Check out the how2 section here or at vqpower.com for instructions. Not hard.

Edit: I guess you want to know if you should order the part now so you will have it come clutch/flywheel install time. Check the bottom hole on the tranny...if there is any motor oil residue, you have a rear main seal leak that should be replaced.
