<-- 4.77

 

I think the general consensus is that unless you are going FI in the future, get the 4.77s.

If you're gonna' do it, don't go half way with the 4.57s.

 

<--- 4.44's. Switching to 4.57's when this one blows.

 

Oh I disagree. I have the 4.57 and I love them It doesn't take too much away from the top end like the 4.77. Here is a quote from Rick's website who sells the gears...

On the advice of Richmond engineers, who have unmatched experience in ring and pinion gear design, we concluded that the 4.57 gear ratio would be ideal for the S2000, falling in the

 

Of course, how could I be so silly? Ricks is always right.

 

Yeah and so is the "general consensus" whoever they are..

Someone else had mentioned something about not going to 4.77's if your going FI, but I dont think there is a difference at all if your FI or N/A. I dont see how being boosted will effect 4.77's any differently than if your not.

My main reason for staying away from them was for the high rpms when cruising. Also 4.57's werent available yet when I had mine done or I definitley would have went with them. The 4.57's are said to be stronger than the others, but a little noisey. However my 4.44's are a bit noisey also.

Rick is working on the 4.56 that eliminates the noise for those that don't like it. I happen to like it. Adds something to the overall sound. But that is just me...
