General thoughts and comments?

About bloody time someone did this. Well done Scorpion.

yeah im pretty sure these have been around for a while.. i vaguly remember you guys debating over them a while ago then coming to the conclusion that they are a bit too pricey for what they are???
Cheers

Sure you're not confused with the SubaXtreme kits?

definatly wasnt lift kits, it ws lower ended gears

Nah SubaXtreme were offereing low gear kits as well. I think this is all fairly new for Scorpion

ahh yeah it was prolli that group.. i knew someone did..

At around $1600 for a ratio only slightly lower than the early L series 3.9's it is a big ask. I have just put the L series bits in a Lib box and have it in my Turbo wagon. Even with the 28's it is a great low gear. I was towing a tandem trailer overflowing with firewood at the weekend and it was effortless. Previously, with this sort of load, just getting starterd was a clutch smoking affair with the single range box I had in it. Similarly on a steep incline it has plenty in reserve. Obviously a lot cheaper to butcher an L series box and adapt the shifter fork.

I've got similar in my Ej20T and it cost me all of $20 for the gears, and $10 for some silicone. You'd be better off getting a reconditioned gearbox for the $1600
