Are you doing this for expected performance gains? Looks like quite a project, kudos for having the gonads to tear into her that far.

The tread on those BFGoodrich's looks sick!
I've heard they get LOUD though after just a couple of thousand miles.

I am not looking for performance gains from it. My tranny was making a noise so I had a great deal on this tranny so I just scooped it up yesterday. As for the ratios. 1,2,3,4, are all the same. 5th and the final drive are just alittle bit different. All and all the tranny bolted up no problems at all EXCEPT. The axles do not bolt up. AHHHHHHHHH....
on the 99 2.5 5 speed the axle bolts that go to the tranny are 8mm bolts and the cayman uses 10mm bolts. I am going to pull my axles out tomorrow and see if they can be drilled, machined out. If so I will just source the correct 10mm bolt with the right length and hopefully be done with it. I will update later on tomorrow.
AS for the the tires. They got great ratings, have a good tread wear and I don't care about tire noise. My car car is loud already with exhaust, headers, intake and oh yea a 3.4 aaaaaannnnnd vibrates with the solid front mount already.
Updates tomorrow.

Perhaps I missing something, but why didn't you just swap the stub axles?
