I just put the numbers through a gear ratio program and they look good.

I just picked a random 5 speed.

JDM Impreza WRX MY93 1st 3.454 (48 kph) 2nd 2.062 (82 kph) 3rd 1.448 (116 kph) 4th 1.088 (166 kph) 5th 0.825 (203 kph) final drive 4.111, 6,000 rpm with a 24 inch tyre, 101 kph @ 3000 rpm

The availability of the reverse cut R&P set is just within the last few months Steve.
Todd's determination to do a 4WD Bug based on Subaru drivetrain required the special gearset - which otherwise would be totally unavailable. I can't imagine the financial commitment to get a special cut gearset made! But Todd went through with it, and now others can benefit from this development. I've got a feeling though, this is the kind of special "product" that won't be around for years to come. In other words, if it sounds like something one would want to jump into for their build, I wouldn't count on these gearsets being available 5 or 7 years from now (thinking you can wait until you get around to it!).
