OP, was Specialty Z able to do it all in one day? id you find the manual diff yourself, or did Seb help on that front? I am pretty interested in this, but would really like to do it all in one shot and not have to leave the car overnight so it can be incognito without the GF fiance knowing I dropped 2k for a new mod...

i was talking to Seb about this when i got tuned a few weeks ago..he says he needs 3 or 4 days to do the job..
he can gets the gears and install kit but you need to get the Diff yourself..
any question just call and talk to him..

I had dropped off all my stuff when I got them in and he was able to do the gear swap during his own time. Then when I had my appt with him he pretty much just swapped out the entire differential. Swapping up the differentials doesn't take that long to do but the gear swap is time consuming. Drop of your parts to him and just schedule an appt for a different day.

Street drivingI actually think I am getting better MPG, but on the freeway I went from like 27-29MPG to like 24ish MPG. It's not that big of difference at all. Check out the videos I posted to see the RPM's comparison from before and after the gears.
