I haven't heard of them, but I'm interested. I wanted 4.77 but my exhaust is already loud enough, and 4.56 doesn't seem like as big a jump for me so I am on the fence. I'll have to look into these 4.6

what, you think there is a difference between 4.57 and 4.6??

you're talking about fractions of a percent. low fractions.

4.57 compared to 4.6 is about 0.2mph difference at 4000 rpms..negligible

The 4.57 gears are 14 and 64 right?
64/14=4.5714
Are you sure they are 4.6000?
Maybe someone thought 4.6 is 4.57 in short.

4.6 could be 15 and 69, thats excactly 4.6.

Either way its a small difference.

hmm... this is interesting. The final gears from these vehicles fit our rear diffs as well?? Are there other cars that have this same fitment? Is there any fabricating to do? Anyone know where a good link to pick up these gears?
