3.73's are in!! So are my mach 1 rear brakes...
Let me just say that gears fackin awesome... Idk why i didnt do it earlier... Now i know why you guys say it should be the first thing done... I am very happy with my 3.73's. My speedo was WAYYY off until i got home and plugged in the tuner lol
1st gear is awesome.. It feels like a rocket compared to 3.27's and it hooks from 10mph when i floor it... So i didnt lose my first gear.
2nd gear is also awesome. It pulls damn hard.. Not used to it.
3rd gear really caught me off guard. It feels liek 2nd gear used to with the 3.27's.
4th gear i havent gotten much play with. Cruising around its perfect for my usual commutes. It picks up quite quickly and has a strong pull when i get in the powerband of fourth.
5th gear is MUCH more usable. I can now use 5th gear at 50mph instead of 75+...
Overall, i am very satisfied with my gears. I wish i could have felt what 3.90's and 4.10's felt like before i got 3.73's, but i wasnt that lucky. I do wonder what those gears would feel like, but i am VERY happy with my 3.73's. It is a whole new car and the gears are still long enough, yet pull hard. I actually love it. My gas guage has dropped massively in the past hour and a half
I seriously feel like i can hit a 13.7 with the gears now as opposed to my 13.9... Thats how much you can really feel gears.. Everybody should get them.
As for my mach 1 rear brakes. Idk how much they helped bc i ended up having to buy new OEM rear pads. But the car seems to stop much better. It's just not night and day like it would be with the fronts... I am happy with my purchase on these as well. The 11.65" rotors looks nice in the rear. And after having red calipers in the rear, i think i like the calipers BLACK... Idk why... It just looks "clean"
Here are some pics...
The rear rotors are bigger than the fronts hahahah
I like them black much better... (even though i didnt spray them yet)

i've always liked your car
off topic, where did you get your license plate bracket? every cobra bumper i've ever seen (including my own) has the plate screwed directly into the bumper, no brackets.

I fell back in love with the car... These gears are really a great all around gear... Whoever says that 3.27 to 3.73 is not that big of a deal, it really is... I cant imagine 4.10's. the pull must be ridiculous.
The license plate bracket was on the car when i got it. You arent the first person to ask me that question though. A lot of people look for those. I think there was a website to buy them. I'm not sure though. I forget
Next on the list is Bullitt brakes up front with SS lines and a super blue brake fluid flush.. ~$400
Me and redstang98 are going to pull out my isolators and fix my exhaust leak one day
And then idk what's next... Saving for a blower or finding some decently priced cobra skirts
