im not looking to find them! im wondering who has them!

i have the c-one final gear set, but cant let you know how they are or the difference in 1/4 mile times until i get my tranny back from having them installed. Should have the car back together in a couple weeks and will let you know how i like the 4.8 final gear instead of the 4.529.

This would help put the car right with the 05-06 RSX type S's with equal mods.... the new final drive they have really seperates things after modding.....

I went with the final gear set by c-one to get even with all those rsx's in my area with the same mods. I'm not sure about the total gear set, because they change the gear ratio of every single gear individually, instead of changing every gear equally by just changing the final gear. By the way I got my finaly gearset from Kamispeed and you will be very happy, because the price was right, and i got them in only 5 days from Japan!!! Talk about overnight parts from Japan, I felt like i was in the fast and the furious lol.

You're installing the C-One set and changing the final ratio from 4.5 to 4.8? Have you put these specs on paper? That is good small track gearing. Defintely not suitable for daily driving. Using a 225/40/17 tyre, to cruise at 55 mph, you'll need to be at 3,400 rpm in 6th gear. To cruise at 70 mph you'll need to be at 4,300 rpm in 6th gear. If it is a daily driver, I suggest you try driving your car (or another Celica, or any car for that matter), in a lower gear at 3,500 rpm for an extended time. You may find it isn't that appealing.

I think the C-One gearset on it's own would be sweet. It brings the gearing closer (which a final ratio change can't do), for faster acceleration, but you'd still need to be at 3,200 rpm in 6th to travel at 55mph, still not as bad as 3,400 rpm.

Did you ever try not using your 6th gear, and driving the car as if 5th where your last gear? That is an ideal test as the C-One 6th gear is the same ratio as the stock 5th.

One thing is for sure, it will sound sound sweet going through the gears that fast.

could you leave the taller stock six gear and have a useless cruising gear like a vette?
