    ^^did my 4.88's. If he has time to get them done you will be one happy camper. Top notch no BS and no funny numbers like two other shops that will be more than happy to TAKE YOUR MONEY. FYI = if you buy parts the "two other shops" will not touch it - they make bank padding parts.

    Depending on where you are, it might be worth a call to Flyin Miata and ask about a referral to a shop.

    If there's a drag strip close by, go out, enjoy the races, ask locals questions

    Never hurts to ask.

    Well you found the shops! Not something you would do unless you have experience and tools. Hopefully Brian will respond. Otherwise yes look out of state and plan a vacation around it.

    Have you checked with Addicted Off-road? Hillside 4x4? High Country 4wd? I've heard great things about all of them

    Slee did a solid job for me. It seems their diff guy has been doing them for years and years. My 4.88 are nice and quiet.

    ECGS only recommends Slee for install in the Denver/Metro Area. So if you can't get the local TW gear master to do them and you want them done local Slee would be the vote.

    @thefatkid would love to talk about regear with you - I dropped a "conversation" your direction. Not sure if that is the same as a PM these days...

    The labor is nasty. And requires doing both front and rear third member.
    $3000 was about my total bill for my 5.29s. $1500 was the gear kit itself.

    Oh, OK. I must have misunderstood your post where you thought 3k was too high priced. My bad
