You're going to have to do a carrier change also.3.23s' are on a 3 series carrier,2.73s' would go on a 2 series carrier.Why is a 'rebuild my rear end' necessary? What has to be rebuilt?

If you’re worried about gas mileage then sell your car and buy a Prius

I figured with 3.23s you would've been getting pretty decent gas mileage anyway, so why the 2.73s?
