gear ratio RS and Evo8
On all USDM Evo VIII and IX models the 5-spd. gearing is the same across the board. So, in the U.S.A. the RS gearing does not differ from that of the other models such as GSR, etc.
On JDM, British, European and other world market Evos the RS 5-spd. trannies do have shorter, closer spaced gearing than the other models. There are in fact 3 variations of the Euro and Japan Market VIII RS 5-spd. trannies. There is a short box, a medium box and a long box As far as I can tell, the difference between these 3 different RS trannies is that each has a different final drive ratio, but their gear ratios are the same.
I have a JDM RS box and the gears are shorter and closer spaced than in the U.S.D.M. 5-spd. box. My box is either the short or the medium version. I am not sure. Sorry I don't have numbers for you though. I did find the information that you seek over on the British Evo Forum: "LancerRegister". I lost my search function over on there though for some reason. So, you'll need to get on there and do a search.

the point is why I wand to install an RS is that it should have shorter gears than EVO8 5spd, I want to install 4,11 in RS tranny and in this case gear should no be that long as in evo8 5spd + 4,11
here what I found but

I am curious as to what sort of driving that you want to tailor your RS gearbox with 4:11 for. Is it for racing competition, or for just driving on the street, or for drag racing, etc. I am just curious.

I have a Euro Evo8 with 5spd, I did install a 4.11 into it and the acceleration decreased about for 10% (gear become to long for me)
I use my car for roll-on and some times in drag racing we have different class and I take part in Street class
the point why I want RS I was told it has shorter gears and in this case after installing 4.11 gear wont be that long
but after a search and thanks to you I realize that I wont win anything, but as I understand fro Europe RS had shorter gears
so I don`t know what to do
