RE: pro's and con's of gears
I like my 4.10's cause they liven up the feel of the car. They help with burnouts too
Some bad things about them: they hurt your highway gas mileage a little, more shifting (although I kinda like that)

Cost around $150-250 for the set, then depending on where you are or who you know, probably $200-$500 to install, from what I've read. You then (This is the part that is holding me up) need a tuner or a speedo calibrator to adjust the speedo.

This isn't a complete hijacking, because I'm sure he'd be interested too...how are Motives' gears? Brenspeed has 4.10's for $150 with free shipping (On Ebay anyway), that seems to be around $100 cheaper than Ford Racing gears.
