Default Best Gear Ratio For The A4 Guys?
I have a 99 Camaro A4 and it has basic bolt ons, im wanting to swap out the rear end gears and my goal is to drop my 1/4 mile time as much as possible, what would the best ratio be for me to buy and any suggestions on what brand of gears to get? how hard are they to install?

You also have more ring gear to pinion contact area with the 3.73 vs. a 4.10 gearset.

Don't forget that it's only a 7.625" rear......
(...Why GM, Why not atleast an 8.5?! )
