They are still negotiating the final price and how many sets must be purchased up front to establish the agreement. Before they commit to it they may run a poll on their site to see just how many people want a set. I know I do. ;)

I have their 3" suspension lift on my wifes Kick and it is nice. No spring spacers. They use high lift springs, camber correcting upper strut mounts, rear diff positioning brackets, etc. Anyway, they are looking into getting the R&P gears. Prices are not finalized but it looks like they will be about $275-300. Difficult item to get a supplier for.

Here's what I got back from Calmini :'(.

Sir-

At this time, only the 10-bolt front gears are available. We are sorry that we could not help you with your search at this time. Thank you for your interest in the CALMINI Suzuki line.

Expensive alternative (need Kicker Adapter), but you would have more gearing options with the Samurai TC. And if Driveline Vibrations become a problem (Offset Rear Driveshaft), it could be fixed with an upgraded Constant Velocity Joint Driveshaft (like a Toyota's).
