    Exactly, before these forums and thetoyz forums I got a set of them and then once I found out about them I needed to replace my other set of stockers so i went with GHs and they are beast. About to order the other 2 here soon...GH FTW!!

    Shimming moves the ring gear closer to the pinion. Usually there is a little too much play
