Default 4.44 gears

Can anyone recommend a good shop for this install? From what I've read, you can't trust this to just anyone, and should find a mechanic who is experienced with swapping out rear-ends.
Thanks

Ya, what's your deal?

I bet he's trying at add more "value" to the car so that when his wife makes him sell he can advertise it for $50k, sit back and wait for the phone calls to pour in!

Why do you think I'm looking at gears instead of the Mugen front bumper? You can't SEE the gears.

setting up a rear differential is kinda tricky. your torque has to be right on specs or else you will have one of several different noises coming from your differential. i practiced on a few different differentials in school, and they were kinda tricky to get just right, though those diff's had been taken apart and put back together many times. it takes years of experience to get them perfectly adjusted. your best bet would be to take it to the dealer or a transmission shop that deals with imports(don't know any at the time). oh yah gear oil smells really good too
i hope this kinda helps you decide on what to do
