There are only two sellers of these (new, first hand) - Rick's and Hardtopguy. They both get them from Richmond Gear. They are both on backorder.

Burak... I'm guessing you're the new s2katlanta member right? If you want, you can buy a stock 4.10 gearset with Comptech differential and I'll trade you my 4.77 gears with Comptech dif and we can do a swap + a little cash. You'll end up only spending around 900 so you'll save around 500 bucks. Plus, my differential is already broken in so you wouldn't have to worry about babying your diff for a month or two during the break-in. Let me know if you're interested.

I want the stock gears back now because I'm installing a turbo kit and my 4.77 are a bit too short. If you'd like, you can drive my car to see how you like them.

ooooooooh! Rick's. Is that was the r in 4.57r stands for? I've always wondered why the 4.57 gear had the r in the end. Other manufacturers make 4.57s besides Rick? Are they as reliable or no?

I originally thought the "R" stood for Richmond, but I have been set straight. It stands for "revised". The first rendition was altered due to excessive gear whine. Only one place makes these - Richmond Gear. But several distributors exist. BTW, Richmond Gear doesn't sell these direct (unless you bribe someone within ).
