RE: Gears.

05s have a very tall OD, im not exactly sure what it is but its higher then the .62 in the old gen so you could probably get away with 4.30s

RE: Gears.

When my new rear end housing gets broken in I'll be getting hardened 3.73's from JDM. The coating frees up about 5-10 hp from reduced friction and they're stronger too. With 4.10's and a manual you'll be running about 2700 at 60 in fifth. Thats too high for me but great for acceleration.

RE: Gears.

Trust me on the 2800rpm at 80mph. The car is still very drivable at highway speeds. The car accelerates much better and you can easily start off in 2nd gear.
