Default rear

alright been reading through a ton of 273 -342 rear gear swap threads and have decided I want 342's and I don't want to do it in my garage and I probably don't need a converter since except for a bb cat back system(on car when I purchased) im not changing anything else on the car soooo I have a 99 a4 coupe and im trying to figure out where to buy complete carrier with 342's....will the zo6 bolt right in mine? or buy from someplace like rpm transmission? gmpartsdirect list 315's but not 342's so might not be something I could buy oem....whats the best way to go here? I live in erie Pennsylvania if anyone knows of shops near by that could do the job..dealship maybe? ...talk to me people!!!
