Default Any A4 guys broken 3.73's?

I'm trying to decide on whether or not I should put in some 3.73's to replace my 3.23's but I'm worried about breakage. The gears would be GM which are the strongest, but some people have said they have still broken GM 3.73's. So I was wondering if any of you A4 guys out there have broken 3.73's and if so, what brand were they?

3.23's lasted 60k miles.......3.73's lasted 3 weeks and about a dozen 16x 60's......performance gained wasnt enough to justify the cost...i would say keep what you have till you decide to go 12 bolt

i have 4.10 and my car is A4 , i am happy with the performance

very good acceleration, but there is little whining from rear increase when u drive more faster and when u slow down

first gear =no traction (u must get stick tire)

RPM at 50 like 1800
RPM at 60 like 2300 not bad withA4


if u get 3.73 i think u would'nt notice performance
