differential gears

Are there aftermarket gears to change the ratios in the front and back differentials? My end goal is to have lower cruising rpm on the highway. Thanks.

Hello,

I can get you Cusco front and rear L.S.D. but not gears at this time.

Thanks

Cal

FYI, chaging the gears in the differentials will not change your final drive. The final drive is in the transmission. The F&R diffs only reduce speed for the driveshaft, then increase it again at the rear. The F&R diffs have the same ratio, changing one or the other will cause a variation in rotating speed between the F&R wheels.

Thank you for your knowledgeable input!

I was wondering on whether we could change the gear ratios on the transmission as well so that we can cruise on the freeway w/o having it roar like crazy. Is there anything we can buy?

for the cusco front and rear LSD
do you have to buy them together? will one work w/o the other? I think i heard my friend's 240 Kaaz LSD and it sounded like the car was broken on low speeds. Will it be the same for the Evo? Thanks Cal

No you don't need to buy them both at the same time. Yes it is possible that the car will sound as if its broken..
