How much of a difference did you notice? Is it hard to keep your stock tires from spinning like crazy?

I have Richmond 4:10's, they did whine for about the first 250 to 300 miles after install, now they are fine. As far as strenght and quality I guess time will tell.......( Ive only had the car six months and put about 2500 miles on it and 2000 miles on the gears)

Not totally sure how much is to much during the break, so I have been a weak driver copared to what i normally am. Squeling is controlable, I havent squelled it yet. But I havent got on it hard yet either.

Hopefully you'll be fine.

I've never heard anything bad about Richmonds except that the are noisy. I heard NASCAR uses them, so they can't be too bad.

I have em in my 02 with a Trutrac only get a lil noise in reverse other than that I think they are top notch. No noise with driving foward except from the TKO600 which is a whole different can of worms. But in my experience they are great, same with the TKO for that matter.

WELL[:@] I havedrove the normal break in period, plus some. From 0-40 they are fine. 40+ the gears whine. worst from 45-55, cruising at 65 or 70 isnt bad, but its still whining. This is just when I am cruising, when accelarating, there isnt any whine

at 40 or 45 in 5th gear the whine is like wa wa wa wa wa ......

For racing it wouldnt matter and would be a great gear, but for a Daily Driver they need a can of Shut the hell up.
