Thank you everyone for the advice! It has been really helpful!

My car is a manual car and I'd love to keep my car N/A, but I don't know what I'm going to be looking into doing in the future. After looking over all of these posts, I suppose that I am going with the notion of "don't fear the gear". However, going as steep as possible still leaves me a bit nervous. Seemingly there is a lot you need to do after you hit a certain size of gears. I decided that I am going to be getting 4.10s. Just to check: are there any parts that I'd need to buy to get them to fit in my car or will I be good to go after paying for the part and the labor?

when i got my gears on i had about 50k miles on it and my rear diff was all fcuked up, fused bearings etc... i bought the master rebuild and bearing kit and now i have to buy a new differential cover...

My car barely has 1100~+ miles. Will I need to replace anything in the car? The tires maybe? Or would it run fine as is with such a new car?

the gears are all u will need but u way want some stickier tires, i have nittos 555r's and love them

iMustang

Yeah. That would be a safe bet. I don't want my car slipping all over the road. Thank you for the reference, I will look into those tires!
