If you have stock 2.73's and thus have the 2-series carrier, as long as the gears say they're for a 2 series, you don't need the spacer.

Just a heads up. but EPP has Motive 2 series 3.73's for $159.99.

Here's the install kit:

http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1009

$85.99 is a good price for it. I paid $99.99 from Speed Inc., but I wanted 3.42's for my 2 series carrier and EPP didn't offer 2 series 3.42's. I got a set of Richmond's from Speed Inc. and they shipped a Motive install kit with it. Note that Speed Inc. has free shipping, so make sure you try the order with Speed Inc. and EPP to see what has the best price after shipping.

Note that the install kit on EPP says for 93-97 LT1 f-bodys, but since they shared the same rear as the LS1 cars, the install kit should work with 98-02 cars, also. If you're unsure and don't wanna take my word for it, you can always call

No problem, glad to help. If I were you, I'd call and order instead of doing it online for two reasons.

1.) Just to put your worries at ease that you're getting the correct gears for your car
2.) Bob at EPP is a great guy from what I've seen and heard

I'm sure online orders are fine, but if you feel uneasy, call them.
