@PantsDants what was your reasoning for using he IS carrier? Was it solely to limit down time? It just seems to me if you were paying a shop to do it, why incur the extra cost of the carrier instead of just buying a ring and pinion for the FRS. The setup time for uninstalling and reinstalling wouldn't be more than an extra day or two. Or did you have another reason for doing so?
