Absolutely. I bought an 8.8 thunderbird diff from ebay and was planning on doing that first but none of the vendors would sell me a rear cover that would fit the FRS subframe. They said not enough of the kits sell so they are matched. Instead I did this. The price breakdown is this:
TV6-358-29-NG Toyota 8", 3.58, 29 Spline, Nitro Ring & Pinion $294.95
YOKTOYFITKIT-29 Toyota, 29 Spline Fit Kit (Includes: Pinion Flange, Pinion Seal, Pinion Nut) $83.48
MKTLC100-IFS Toyota 8" Reverse IFS Nitro Master Install Kit, 100 Series $311.45
SKCSTV6 Toyota 8" V6 & FJ80, Nitro Solid Spacer $37.84
NPLUBE-3 80W-140 Nitro Para-Synthetic Plus Gear Oil, GL5 (3 Quarts) $59.50
Total: 787.22
CHESAPEAKE CITY shipping: $47.23
Grand Total: $834.45

You do have to have a few tools but nothing too bad: 12 ton press from harbor freight (170), punches, impact, deadblow hammer, bearing separator, dial indicator, etc
