The 2 series is a bit thicker, that's basically it. If you have 3.xx gears for a 2 series that will work just fine. Or you can get standard gears and swap the carrier to a 3 series as well.

if i were you i'd just buy the gears your looking for with the 2 series carrier. the shop that installed mine said it would be abuot another 100 bucks or so for the 3 series carrier (my dumbass ordered 3 series instead of 2).

by simply buying the 2 series, you'll prolly save a little extra cash

Depends on who you buy it from. Usually $50-$100. I've seen some cheaper on ebay.
