Default Finally going with 4.77

My cousin owns a mechanic shop so he was able to order the kia 4.77 gears for me for $307. I talked to chip from mts auto, he advised it would be a flat 300. Seemed like a very nice guy. So hopefully in a couple of weeks, Ill give an update on how the gears are. Probably not going to cryotreat. Not sure if any of you guys locally have done that. He did advise me to get some bolts from arp. There are some I guess stronger bolts for our differential. Any one ever use them or hear about them. the item number is 673-1007. And since i'm getting 4.77 gears, would I need to get ricks honda installation package.

Thanks

I rarely go even over 110 so I think that wont bother me much. Im also getting some bolts that chip recommended that i guess are stronger than stock to reinforce the diff. There 30 dollars in total. 4.44. do they still make them. I thought i read somewhere they did not. If so, what mazda were they in, I dont think he would have a problem getting them for me. And also, if you guys ever need any factory parts from honda, just email me, since he gets it almost at cost from what the factory sells them to the dealer at.

Hey Guys,
I will be receiving my 4.57 gear set, yellow box, and reinforced diff this week, could you all please tell me the best place to have the install done?
Thanks.
