Correct - thats why I couldn't figure out what change you were talking 
about. I was under the assumption that only the front was changed to 
increase the torque a little - there would not be any reason to change the 
rear if that was the case.

A common setup on the T5's is to change to 17 / 45.

The stock setup on the ST (and most of the T5's thru 99) were 18T front and 
43T rear.
