Just curious to see if anyone on this board has the 4.33 final drive gears.

My next mod will definitely be gears. Leaning towards 4.57, although I just took a test drive in an S with the 4.77s tonight what a rush!

Anyways, just looking for impressions on the 4.33s

I have the 4.77s, and I think they are *almost* unnoticeable. I couldn't see any reason for 4.33s to even exist.

I mean that I was disappointed by how little difference 4.77s made. I certainly didn't have any feelings about it. None of my passengers have been all that impressed either.

^^WOW^^ This is the first time I've read a post on the 4.77s to be less than

When I drove the S with 4.77s last night, I was impressed with the rpms not dipping as much between shifts. I'm assuming is this part of what makes it feel faster.

So from what I can tell, if you had to do it all over again you would not have gone with this mod?

First off, the RPMs dipping between shifts has absolutely nothing to do with your final drive. If the car you drove didn't dip much between shifts, then it is because something else is different.

Second, I like the gears, and I'm glad I have them. They just aren't as incredible as everyone makes them out to be. I wasn't even all that impressed with the SC'ed S2000 that I drove. I guess my standards are just too damn high. I am VERY glad that I chose the 4.77s instead of the 4.44s or 4.57s.

if you arent impressed by the sc'd s2k or re-geared one, get a twin turbo supra and nothing streetable will be faster when you upgrade it, period.
