Default gear/diff. pricing

hey, quick questions on gears/differential. I want to get 3.73/4.10 gears for mycar, and maybe a new tlok (i have open right now, stock). v6mustangstuff and mustangtuning both advertise the stuff for seemingly low prices...whats a normal price to expect for things like those? plus, are motive gears any good? i was under the impression that frpp are among th e best, but im seeing this other brand around as well.

FRPP are some of the best gears and require little shimming. Motive gears are good but typically require a lot more shimming, and carrier shims can get expensive if you need them. Spend the extra and get the Ford gears. You will need a notched cross over pin to if you are going to run 4.10 in your V6 rearend. You can notch the stock one but if you are going to replace all the stuff in the rearend why skimp?

granted, but i was wondering what a reasonable price would be (for frpp, for example). since ive been told by some that they can be very expensive, but im seeing them for around 200 in places. i want to know if that is a legit price or if i shuold be leary

same with differential. i thoght it was an expensive peice, but i see it on v6mustangstuff for only 190

If you look around you should be able to find them for about 180, I paid 140 shipped but that was a year ago and prices have gone up.
