What do you mean? Gears, LSD, or which year to go with?

BTW I think a lot of people confuse me for you. Mostly on Honda tech. Are you near RT 37?

IMO, I'd go with the 4.57 gears and the reinforced comptech diff. unless you're looking for something other than the torsen diff that comes with the S2k?

hahaha, yeah, i hear about you to. i live about 10 min away from 37. i go out there every now and then on weekends. a lot more in the summer. are you near 37?

the diff will be out today and i will know exactly what i need to get. i just want to be ready to order as soon as i know what i needed.

the 4.57 was what i was thinking of if i need them, but as for the LSD itself, if i need it, i just want something that is not going to break and drives properly with no new noises.

i will find out what i need later just wanted some recommendations.

thanks

The 4.57s will make noise above and beyond what you may be used to. It's just the nature of these gears.

So far, someone has managed to break every diff that is manufactured for this car. And yet, there are those who have the stock diffs on blown cars and have never had any issues whatsoever. If you try hard enough, you will break anything. Nothing is "explosion proof".

I live near Philadelphia. I had someone at Atco mistake me as you, I got people PM ing me on HT saying hey whats up, when I post on HT in the race section I have people saying hey remember me, I hung out with you last night. LOL Its funny.

Get the 4.57's and reinforced diff. The stock lsd should be fine. I hear aftermarket ones are louder anyway. Im sure your car has to many other whining noises to notice new ones anyway.
