not really sure what i need i have the gears, and thats it ( ring, pinion). i thought i just need an installation kit and then i was going to get em installed. i looked at thunder racing and they have 3 different kits: basic, deluxe, and complete. im kind of clueless here.

Your car is a 1997 so I would assume that you have at least 75,000 miles on it or more? I would definetly get the most complete bearing and seal kit it's safe insurance.
basic normally includes pinion shims, crush sleve, pinion seal, and cover gasket.
Deluxe has basic plus pinion and carrier bearings, ring gera bolts, thread locker, gasket sealer, bolts, and marking compound to complete install
deluxe has basic, complete, plus axle bearings and seals

sry for all the dumb questions, but i dont have aclue about gears. which package would i want? i only have 52k miles on it and its only been to the track once.
Just get the deluxe package and is $130 from Thunder Racing. No point in going cheap and having to go back in there and the rear end will be like new. The kit includes:
Deluxe Kit: Includes pinion shims, carrier shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal, pinion nut, ring gear bolts, cover gasket, pinion & carrier bearings, PLUS wheel bearings and seals. (All of the small parts and pieces necessary to RESTORE an axle to like new condition!)
Deluxe Kit: Includes pinion shims, carrier shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal, pinion nut, ring gear bolts, cover gasket, pinion & carrier bearings, PLUS wheel bearings and seals. (All of the small parts and pieces necessary to RESTORE an axle to like new condition!)
