I have a manual car and was able to swap a 4.56 for a V6 toyota truck, gear set was sub $200 from Jaws gear. Obviously the V6 truck set may not work for everybody, but it did fit in my IS300 diff, but only barely. |

Just bought a FRS diff loaded with Mfactory 4.67 gears install with only 5000 miles for $1000.00 off ebay. Is the former owner here?

This thread has been a very interesting and informative read. Has anyone considered a final drive in the 4.25-4.33 range? I'm wondering if that would give much of the same benefit without the potential hit to fuel economy while cruising. Do you need to go as high as 4.55 to really notice the difference?

Going from 4.1 to 4.25~4.33 is only a 3.5~5% change and won't be worth the cost or hassle. Don't do it unless you're going 10% or more. Go 4.55+ or keep it stock. |

As I lay in bed sick and throwing up I still miss my BRZ for being the most unique Subaru I ever owned ( 16 since 2000 ). The FD mod WAS the most amazing by far. ( getting a header that reduced the tq dip was # 2 ).
But banging thru ALL the gears with the FD made me feel like a 996 Porsche Cup driver at the Ring' ! Ok back to bed ! Myles |

Well I have raced there since 99 and have made the call to the wife on mahy occasions explaining how much my "off' would cost us so now when I go its not for the absolute fastest lap, its for the fastest lap without the dreaded call ! 9/10th maybe. Your lap on those tires is a good lap no doubt. at 47 I have nothing to prove anymore ! Myles |

I do wish I could have the 4.55 final drive for NJMP Thunderbolt, as I tend to spend a fair amount of time in the lower end of 3rd and 4th gear around that track, but I don't think it would help at VIR which is my main focus for this year as the NASA East Coast Championships will be there in September. |
