I didn't know until just now that they had swap parts for a ford 8.8 rear end.

Interesting.

In all fairness, all of those things need to be followed with any rear end setup, not just an S2000. There's nothing magic about a ring and pinion setup in that car that doesn't hold true for a ring and pinion in any other car.

You should ether get a whole rear end or just the carrier. If you rebuild it you need to check the backlash and paint the gear pattern of the ring and pinion

Re: s2000 diff HELP

I have an Ap1 differential I will sell you for 300 because, this is not a 240sx where you can just reweld the already welded diff and keep on rolling.
