Most swap the ENTIRE rear carrier, not just the gears - there are only a few shops in the US which can successfully swap the gears and not end up w/ a whining rear end
For those of us who swap the entire carrier and thereby put in a carrier w/ different gears, there is a speed sensor located on the top of each carrier that determines speed - it's basically plug and play - no need to recalibrate or adjust anything.

yep; no speedo error on a C5 when changing rear axle ratios
If you put in any gears higher than 3.15 you will need to reprogram your computer for performance purposes.
