I think Richmond actually makes different ring gears for the rear. I am also pretty sure they are the same ones as the S2000's are using too.

what gear ratio are you looking for?

Holy shit,590. +shipping..
Mazda race gears are little cheaper.
So what do the S2000 come with stock (ratio) wise.If they are better than my stock,it might be better to pick up a used set..

I have learned a few tricks,from Miata guys for my first gen,and this is another..
Thanks
