I can install them for $350 including installing the yellow box (needed for a correct speedo) and fresh diff fluid. I would stick with the 4.57s. I have the 4.56s from Ricks in my car. I installed them at 45K and reused all the stock parts from my diff. I have not had any noise at all out of them. Some people are a little anal about replacing every bearing and race, but if the bearing was ok before it should be fine after the install.
