It depends on the year. s4 and s5 have different thread pitch.

You're better off trying to get a s5 lever. You can fit way more shift ***** on it.

Vert is irrelevant for drivetrain parts, save final drive ratio.

Wait, verts have different diff ratios? How so? I pulled my vert diff off and eventually (long-term project) putting my GXL LSD diff on.

That's for all 2ng Gen shifters & *****.
RX-8 and I believe 3rd Gen are the same as S5.

Vert diff is 3.9:1
LSD & non-LSD diffs are different from one another, so you'll need the matching half-shafts.
