Default Quality shop to install gears?

I just picked up a set of the Motorklasse 4.77 gears for my S and I was wondering if there was a quality shop that would be able to install them down here. Also, wondering how much it would run me.

I know of Cartek, but I don't know if they install gears or not. Anyplace down here at all? Thanks in advance!

Ah, just changed it. I'm in Plantation until the beginning of August, so that's why I'm doing it now. I'll give them a ring, thanks!

Hrmm. Okay, I guess I'll just call up all the places and see which place works the best. I've dealt with Cartek a few times, so I'll be checking them out first. Thanks everyone!

Cartek wants $500 if I bring in the diff and $800 if they have to remove it themselves, so they are definitely out of the question

Still attempting to get in touch with Chip at MTS and Smith Speed. I'm thinking I might be better off just selling my gears and getting the whole diff from Stratocaster.

call chip

954-581-9649

i think he charges 300.00 for the whole thing. don't quote me on that. I'm going by memory and it would be best to speak with him directly.
