Certainly cheap from e-bay. I never baught anything from there. I assume most of the gears are used and is it 100% safe to buy from e-bay?

Damn thats pretty cheap. LX... it depends on where you get the gears from. Yes, you could buy used gears but these ones are not used they are brand new. Ebay is a great place to get good discounts, etc. at but sometimes you can have problems with some people. I have dont about 35-50 transactions through ebay and so far everything has been perfect.

Like 88blueGT says it provides you that extra Kick. If i have 3.90's anyways I might as well just go with the 4.10's It should make 80mph go from like 2600 to like 2800 (about). But I have a friend who installs them so he does is almost free, so I'm alowed to test and try out, swap them and then do it again.

p.s
I say 3.90's there actually 3.89 not that, that makes a differance

umm ok why are u getting 4110 instaead of 3.90 this has been my dilema FOREVER!@
