There are several people out there who can fix you up. You might find some of them in a search.

I have COH's 3.90 ring and pinion. After the initial break in period, the gear have taken a good amount of abuse including several 300hp nitrous shots :)

Do yourself a favor and forget the 3.90s and step up to the 4.10s which are the ultimate gear for C5s, especially stick cars. With the extra low gearing in my new Z06 i can't recommend anything short of the 4.10s. Look up Crashed94 on the forum here and he will hook you up for an awesome deal like he did for me! :cheers: :steering:
