ive searched a couple times on here but didnt come up with any good, solid, resource...just mainly DIY install threads with random info....
im trying to figure out all the gearing/diff options that are available...what fits, what doesnt....what diffs, or complete rear ends from other models will fit, what ratio's they have etc etc. anyone know of a good online resource that has those bases covered? or should we hash it out right here and now???
lol, thanks

so turns out the gs300 rear end i picked up last weekend wasnt a toyota/lexus rear end at all. i was in a hurry and just threw it in my car and then looked it over when i got home....not sure what it was out of. close, but no cigar. so now im on the hunt for another one...i hear Horrell has a couple sc rear ends...just need to call him.

I guess im a little confused here, is there a speed sensor in the Diff? or is all of the speedometer info grabbed from the wheels?
-EDIT-
Never mind me, just checked the sensor lineup on alldata and found out that I am indeed an idiot.

It's like changing the rear sprocket on a bicycle. The final drive ratio determines the wheel speed relative to the driveshaft. The GS300 has a different final drive ratio than the 400 and 430 because it has less torque. In a GS300, the wheels will spin 3.92 times for every rotation of the driveshaft, in a GS430 (I'm not sure about 400) the ratio is 3.27. If I had to guess, I'd guess that the shop installed a GS300 diff with the higher ratio, which would give you better acceleration but your RPM at a given speed will be higher.
