just an FYI. the whole thing with gears killing your gas mileage are false. the only thing that sucks the mileage down is the driver. when you got that extra pull from the gears, you can't help but lay in on them. before my 3.73s, i was getting like 18mpg city roughly. after my gears i was getting maybe 15mpg city. now i'm back to about 18 again. they do take some getting used to too. you have to relearn how to drive the car. people with 4.10s even get good mileage, jd got well over 300 to a tank with his. get what ya want. i'd say get 4.10s. Acer got 4.30s in his 98 GT and it's amazing!

you should call some local performance shops and see what they charge. they'll usually cut you a deal if you buy them there and have them installed there.

I'm actually swapping my 4.10's out for 4.30's.

Gears are the best mod for your $$.
