We'veinstalled gears at my dealership that i work at. But i can tell you right now it will probably be cheaper if you find a local speed shop to install them.

If you want the best forfreeway then just stick to stock. If you want something alittle better but still be really nice for the freeway then get 3.55's. Some people who have 3.73's say it hasn't changed gas mileage at all..
