Default Gears?

I have an '03 mustang GT, and i was wondering what is the best set of aftermarket gears to buy? 4.10 or 4.30? What size?

4.30s may be a bit much on a daily driver, you'll be plenty pleased with 4.10s though. Never drove a car with 4.30s, only 3.73s and 4.10s.

It just seems irrational because you can buy 4.30's for the same price as 4.10's. What the gas mileage like and how much quicker does it make it?

+1, 4.10s I wish I would got them over the 3.73s.

.......i think 3:73s are a good compromise if its a daily driver.

The 3.73s are great, but after driving mys friends 02 with the 4.10s I really noticed the acceleration difference.
