final drive ratio

woahitsholland · 10-15-2013, 07:10 PM

i did a search and nothing major came up.

has anyone been able to find any info on getting a closer gear ratio than 3.46?
i'm just curious because i am soon purchasing an lsd and wouldn't mind having something a little quicker with less top end speed.

VAC Motorsports in Philly might be able to hook you up. They install various LSDs and also have some different gear sets for some models. You may have to contact them and discuss your individual requirements to see what they can do.

AFAIK they're a well known and respected shop.

That 3.64 gearing would probably be perfect for me. I wonder if anyone knows much about that company

Buy it! They are awesome and build a great unit! I have the 3.46 unit. Let me know if you have any questions

3.85 from a manual s65 m3

Anything else would be pretty expensive, like a 3.64 custom made

Sounds good. I'll give them a call after the weekend and get some prices worked out. Thanks guys

Talk to protuning freaks. They build custom gear diffs of all sorts.
