Car is running pretty good now, I may need a brake job but I was planning on that anyway since I don't know what this rear has been through.
The one thing tho is, sometimes when I'm turning i hear this creaking or groaning sound. It's not consistant, but repetitive. I'm scared that my differential bay be acting up, but I was told it may be the brakes?? Or that it might just be the clutch packs?? I can't really even hear it over my exhaust, I'm gonna try to head over to the shop that installed my rear tomorrow to see what they think. Got anything on this, lemme know. Thanks.

Just took the car for a "spirited" drive on some twisty hill roads... and nothing tells me that the differential is acting up. I did hear a shit load of creakings all over the car tho... when I got home i did the psuh-down test on my rear suspension and guess what... it made the same creaking sound that I was hearing earlier. So I guess it has something to do with springs/shocks/bushings...

That's what I was goint to say. The diff can't make creaks and groans only the travel of suspensions parts can. Least you found it.
