Wot gears would u suggest???

Post by ZookiDave »

do u think it worth getting a set of 6.5:1 gears worth 900 and getting the case ground out, or spending 1250 on a set of calmini's that are claimed not to need the case ground?

all feed back welcome.

Grounding out the case is a very easy job, dont let it worry you.

Dude, get the 6.5-1 gears they are well worth it, depending on your setup.

Oh also, quit the text speak - Use real words, not alpha-numeric crap.

Cheers!

I have TG 6.5:1 gears and I love them!

Don't let the case grinding scare you - it's a super easy job!

6.5 for sure. I have 5.14 Calmini's, and my brother has the 6.5's. If he doesnt use his car much soon i will have the 6.5's ;)

As Greg said, get a rock toy ring and beef the mounts when you do it. You will need it :cool:

rocklobster gears are stock suzuki gears just from different models.
all that needs to come out off the case is a tiny little nick it took about 10sec
with a dremel to do my case. it really is nothing to stress about.
