Where would you recommend buying gears from? I am looking for either 3.73's or 4.10's. Websites would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for the help guys. I was thinking about summit but just seeing what else everyone thought first. I will probably be purchasing from summit.

Master-I noticed your sig says you have 4.10's, how do you like them? I cant decide between 3.73's or 4.10's. Does your car just scream the whole time at highway speeds? And how did it effect your gas mileage?

They should make a separate forum just for gear questions......

Agreed, but it's an important question.

01BlackGT, I bought FRPP 4.10s from www.gefracing.com
Neither 3.73s or 4.10s will eat your gas mileage on the highway, depending on how you drive. For reference, my 5sp doesn't reach 3000 rpm until about 90 mph while cruising, and how long can you maintain a steady 90 mph on freeways today. Not very where I live.

I have 4.30's, gas mileage increased drastically in town. Haven't done any highway drivng with it yet.

Don't go with 3.73's, you'll be extremely disapointed you didn't go with 4.10's.
