Ring and pinion question
All i know about my rear is it is a g80 rear and a 2 series carrier i was wondering if these gears would work for my car without any modification of anything http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=RMG%2D4900071&N=700+4294925134+4294839047+4294918962+4294791217+4294901296+4294895863+115&autoview=sku

Looks like they are made for the 2-series carrier and will work. However; I would stay away from the Richmound gear. Reason, they cut the gear teeth for racing applications and are quite loud on street car.

ight so just dont get richmond then but any other that say for use in the 2 series is ok? when is say for use in the 3:23 and numericly higher carriers dose that mean really lower numbers or what?
Also would it really be bad on it cause the only ones through summit (only place i like to buy from) are richmond.

Re: Ring an pinon question
If you are going to stay with your 2-series carrier you HAVE to either go 3.08 or lower OR get the "thick gear" (like the one you're looking at from Summit) that works with the 2-series carrier. If you want to run a regular 3.23 or taller gear, you have to switch to a 3-series carrier.
