Has anybody bought the sti ver6 gearset from gruppe-s

i recently grenaded the stock trans again, its time for an upgrade.
I was shopoping around and found the same ver 6 STi RA gearset at gruppe-s for 1199 then i found it at vivd racing for 1429 both say they are on backorder. Thats beside the point. I was speaking with Mike at Vivid, he says that the gruppe-s gearset is cheaper because its not complete. Has anyone out there bought this gearset from Gruppe-s or found it cheaper somewhere else let me know please.

Thanks,
Rance

I would suggest the list of parts you get with either set.

There is also the cost of installation/rebuilding the 5MT. Check outfits like RalliSpec, Ltd for the gearset and installation.

Just buy a service manual for $50. It explains step by step how to assemble one.

i have noticed this but i also spoke with mike at vivid and also with someone from rallispec and they both said that the gearset that gruppe-s sells is not complete. i haven't requested parts lists from all three yet, i will do this tomorrow.
Thanks for your input guys i appreciate it
