Default Where to get 3.90 s

Could someone please tell me where i could get a set of 3.90 gears. I want just the ring gear and pinion, not the complete diff. my car is a 2006 6 speed manual. Zip products have 05 model ring and pinion. and 06 model differentials. but i cant find a ring and pinion for a 2006.

Default Yeah I dont get it either

The improved 2006 diff, and all the probs with the 2005 dont seem to be addressed by ZIP's packages. I must be dense or am seeing what you see?

Also check with Cartek Racing (www.cartek.net), they build LOTS of C6 (and C5) rears that really stand up extremely well to the rigors associated with high powered/hard drag strip launches.
They might be able to provide you with a ring and pinion set at a fair price.
