Through an exclusive arrangement with Richmond Gear, the leading US manufacturer of professional quality, high performance ring and pinion gear sets, we are pleased to announce that we now have in production a never-before available rear gear set for the S2000: a 4.56 ratio. Our new Richmond 4.56 gear sets are a far superior product to the 4.3, 4.44, and 4.77 gear sets previously available. They are stronger, better made, and are delivered with special treatments for hardness and improved lubrication. And they will come with a 1-year warranty for manufacturing defects, good from the time of the installation, not the purchase. But the price will remain the same: $590.

Richmond Gear is the leading US manufacturer of professional quality, high performance ring and pinion sets, and its gears are the highest quality in the racing industry The superior quality of Richmond gears is the result of continual research and development, outstanding design, and state-of-the-art manufacturing.

For those interested in the Comptech reinforced differential housing (a must for those with FI), the 4.56 and 4.77 gear sets will also be available from Comptech at our same $590 price.
