Default Gear Install Kit
I am getting ready to swap gears in my 12 bolt. What install kit should I get? Thanks!

I went with a Ratech kit. Make sure its specified for the car 12 bolts. Also, spring for a solid pinion spacer.

^^^^^^what he said

I would also recommend you buy an extra pack of gear paint just to be 100% certain you have some.

I would get a kit that has only timken bearings...what you're doing is too much of a bitch to go cheap.
