Anybody here live in Perth or know anyone in Perth that can fit a higher ratio ring and pinion gear front and rear, and a lockright in the rear of my 2003 GV diffs and set them up properly? I want a decent job but in my experience some of the best quality work I've had done has been from mates of mates for cash. Otherwise can anyone recommend a good diff shop? I've phoned around and been quoted around $1300 if I supply the centres and $2500 if I supply the whole car.

Nope. It's for me to supply the diff centres out of my car along with just the ring and pinions on their own (I bought new diff gears), and the locker for the rear. Yes roughly 650 per side on average. Might give Suzistore another call, I left all my info with them and was told I'd get a call back with a quote, never got one.
Also, my concern was price, all the places I've called have good reputations so that's not an issue.

Leopold mechanics $500 + whatever bearings need doing. Got that vibe like they know what they're talking about too which fills me with confidence. We have a winner.
