Rear end shops?

I'm looking to have some axle/differential work done on my car within the next 2 months. Can anyone recommend a good, quality shop that will do it. I'd rather spend a little more for a good shop than have a cheaper shop do a not-so-satisfying job. But if there's a cheap shop that does good work, then damn!

Mainly looking to have these things put into my 1st Gen rear end:
- 4.8 gears
- LSD + rebuild

TIA

^^ I'd love to let ISC do it, but shipping an entire rear end across the nation and back is probably gonna cost more than the labor

correction..

THe 5.1 Final drive I got is From MAZDATRIX. this is one of Spare part on their EP Race car. MAZDATRIX told me. they sent entir Diff to ISC, for them to put ring and pinon and LSD.

So even shop like MAZDATRIX. will let some one else handel of install of Ring and pinon.

Putting Rear end is easy, but not the install of Ring and pinon....

Well. those 4x4, their max speed of rear axle dont even come close to the speed Rx-7 will use on Race track. so it could be done. but take your own risk...

As long as you stay away from Hooper's in Sun Valley, you should be fine.

They did a **** job on my '70 'cuda's rear end, and then a **** job "fixing" their **** job.

Yeah, i was thinking more of the lines you give them all the parts and they install, since they do probably deal with rear ends all the time, i guess you could say its the "same" in a general sense so they probably know what to do.
